Ohhh, this is great news! I would LOVE for him to get a chance to speak, because if he did, he will remind today's socialist/communist wannabees in the US the evils of socialism/communisim and a country run by the "state." This is really wonderful news. Great boost for Bush too!
To: Eurotwit
Almost the first thing Walesa did when he was elected president, was to fly to the US and on to California, to shake Reagan's hand, to thank him.
I remember a news conference when he arrived in the US, he was inviting the US to set up bases there; he said if Puerto Rico doesn't want to be a state, "we do".

It just warms my heart to see leaders from all over the world give tribute to OUR President Ronald Reagan. Especially, when you know there are so many traitors in this country who are just writhing in pain at the thought.

I'm not sure, but wasn't Gorbechev coming?

I wonder if the President of Nicaragua will attend. There was a story in the Nicaraguan press today that they owed their freedom to Reagan. Be fitting if they paid respects.

You're right--
Gorbachev to attend Reagan funeral
Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev will attend the funeral of Ronald Reagan, his partner in ending decades of Cold War in the 1980s, an aide to Gorbachev said on Tuesday. Vladimir Polyakov said Gorbachev, who has close personal relations with the former U.S. president's family, would travel to Washington DC for Friday's ceremony.

They will abandon, if only briefly, their current lives as scholars, bankers, lawyers, publicists and commentators to be once again loyalists in the shadow of a man who thrust them into the front lines of a political revolution.
The names were once daily fodder in the network news and the headlines - Alexander Haig, James Baker III, George Shultz, Edwin Meese, Michael Deaver, John Poindexter, Jeane Kirkpatrick.

Super news. Walesa is a hero in his own right. This American deeply appreciates his gesture of attending RWR's funeral.

I have a feeling that the foreign leaders coming to this funeral are not the ones who secretly met with John Kerry in New York for lunch and pledged their support to him.

Who else? Clinton and Carter, unfortunately. But protocol dictates that they must be there.

I believe it was in Poland, that the conventional wisdom went, that the only way to get the boot of the USSR off of it's throat was to attack the United States and force her to occupy. Chew on that for a while, and realize what that really says about us, and our disinclination (word?) to Empire.
