Ronald Reagan Liberty Statue
We have our Statue of Liberty and people in Poland want something similar--one of President Reagan.
Opponents of Poland's former communist regime reportedly want to pay a posthumous homage to US President Ronald Reagan by erecting his statue in the place of a Soviet-era monument. ...There are already separate plans to erect a statue in memory of Reagan in the centre of the Polish capital, Warsaw, which would be paid-for from private funds. Reagan, who dubbed the Soviet Union an "evil empire," is widely credited by Poles with having driven communism to the wall.

I know that liberals in this country deny that President Reagan was primarily responsible for the fall of the Soviet communist block (they say that he just continued Pres. Carter's plan), but some people who lived under Soviet domination think differently and wish to honor Pres. Reagan and celebrate liberty. And, in reality, Ronald Reagan saved the American people from Jimmy Carter, too.

Romanians and Hungarians continue to be impressed as well, at least from their statements to me.
