> the communist puppet Wojciech Jaruzelski <

I’ve read a lot about him. And I’ve come to the conclusion that he was not such a bad guy. True, he was a communist. But he was trying to maneuver in such a way as to prevent a Soviet invasion of Poland.

Recall that the Soviets intervened Hungary in 1956, and in Czechoslovakia in 1968. Both of these invasions stamped out freedom movements. But Poland was never invaded during the rise of Solidarity. I’ll give Jaruzelski credit for that. He could have called for Soviet tanks. But he didn’t.

Jaruzelski died a Catholic, I have forgiven him, as his Lord and Savior has.
