Reagan and his advisers get a share of the credit, but so does Gorbachev, so does the Gdansk movement, so does the economic rot festering beneath the Soviet system, and more. Gandhian resistance worked because of an established tradition of British civility beneath its empirical exterior. It would not work against a Stalin or Hitler, who could care less how many were slaughtered. Two excellent statements. Regean was far from the sole causative factor in the fall of the Soviet Union. Where he deserves credit is that he lead from the front on the issue, in the face of massive domestic resistance, and history demonstrated he was right in his stand. Of course, it is the people who lead from the front on issues where they are eventually proven right that get the big myths written about them. Paul
