I always thought it was the people of Eastern Europe overthrowing their
communist governments, combined with the fact that a slightly more
enlightened Soviet leader didn't send out the tanks, as his
predecessors had always done in similar situations. Of course I'm
brainwashed by the European media.

And why, pray tell, do you think the Soviets didn't roll the tanks
into Warsaw and Berlin? Do you really think it's cuz Gorbachev was
such a "nice guy"?

Honestly, I can't believe what some people pass off as "history"
nowadays. Soon we'll hear that Hitler invaded France to help the
transit worker's union...
