What finished off Comunism was moral strength of the leaders of the West (Reagan, Thacher, Kohl, Mitterand (sp?) and majority of the citizens of these countries. Notice I say "majority", because there was a minority - a part of the Democratic party - that was ready to waive the white flag when the going got tough in the early 80s. Joe, You have got to be kidding...communism fell cause it ran out of money and its people were starving. Russia let the poles, the GDR, the czechs etc go because they could not afford to maintain a military presence in those countries any longer. I think its the funniest thing in the world...when we were in school, we were told that its the West's resolve that would bring communism down and in reality it was the communist's screw ups that did the job. ted
