Poles To Replace Soviet Era Statue with One of Ronald Reagan

While Western Europe seethes in virulent anti-Americanism, it seems that sentiment is not shared in the former Soviet satellite states of Central/Eastern Europe.

A group of Poles in Katowice want to erect a statue of Former US President Ronald Reagan in the town square, and rename the square in his honour, in gratitude for his leading role in bringing the USSR to its knees, and liberating the countries it enslaved for 45 years, without firing a shot.

There are already plans to build a statue to Reagan in the capital, Warsaw. My only suggestion for improvement would be to put up a statue of his brother in arms Pope John Paul II alongside Reagan's, since the job could not have been done without both great men. How fortunate we all were to have been contemporaries of Ronald Reagan and Karol Wojtyla.
