Subject: RE: Missionaries also a breed of terrorists?
I have one historical bone to pick with Fionn:

In open and fair elections in Poland a few weeks ago, the former communists got 45 per cent of the vote and are back in government, while the western/Vatican construct Solidarity didn't win a single seat

Solidarity was largely home grown. Whereas communism was imported, immediately from Russia, but ultimately from England and Germany. Marx was not Polish. Lenin learned much of his Marxism in Switzerland.
