#1 So, in other words, the American cold war doctrine of being prepared to repulse a massive Soviet thrust of ground forces into Western Germany was completely spot on.

Someone needs to give Sikorsky a medal for revealing just how precisely tuned US strategy was in its time. It must be some slight cold comfort to Poland to confirm that they were nothing more than a killing field for advancing Soviet troops. Lech Walensa may well have saved his nation's collective life in rebelling against its communist overlords.

If ~~Ras~~Putin raises a ruckus over this, it will only prove that Russia has yet to completely abandon its, now thwarted, imperialistic aspirations.

#2 Good for them. Sweet revenge on Poland's communists. "It's important for citizens to know who was a hero, and who was a villain. It is important for the civic health of society to make these things public." Too bad Poland doesn't have the death penalty.

...and thank God for Reagan.

#3 very interesting! i find the cold war stuff amazing in its scale of destruction. I mean you get a car bomb these days and its amazing for the simple media and know nothing onlookers but an atomic war would simply be something else beyond most peoples imagination. I do fear cold war 2 is already warming up with china however - i mean how can we not be entering a cold war 2 with them (unless bird flu or something kills em all or someting) .
