Awesome.
Eastern Europeans would build statues of Ronald Reagan.
Kuwaiti people would build statues for Bush Sr.
Iraqi people would build statues of Bush Jr.
Who would build statues for Bill Clinton? Somalian warlords? Muslims in Kosovo? Chinese? Pakistani or indian scientists?
WARSAW (Reuters) - Polish admirers of Ronald Reagan plan to raise a statue of the former U.S president in Warsaw, where he is revered for his role in the downfall of communism in Europe.
"Reagan was the person who defeated the communists and opened the way for freedom in Poland," Janusz Dorosiewicz said. "The statue is a way for his legacy to live on."
Many Poles credit staunch anti-communist Reagan with helping the anti-communist movement in eastern Europe. In 1989, Poland became the first country in the region to shake off communism.
The group plans to unveil the Reagan statue on in 2007 on July 4 -- the U.S. Independence Day.
