I agree.But then many posters have a completely American-centric (fantasy?)View of recent European History.Didnt Walesa start the Ball rolling in the late seventies with Solidarity in your Country?
Also dissatisfaction was expressed as early as 1956 in Hungary..with sporadic uprisings between then and 1989 in all of Eastern Europe.Only the Romanian one was extremely bloody.
