And hopefully one day open faith, just so many souls over there its unbelievable.

It is interesting that a mighty power such as China was apparently so terrified of a certain elderly Polish priest that they wouldn’t let him set foot in their country.

Just who, exactly decided that the Cold War was over?

Granted, China at the time the wall fell had far less military capability than the Soviets did at their peak. But their repressive ideology is really no better at all. And WE are building their industrial base by leaps and bounds every year.

Does nobody else think that declaring the cold war ‘over’ is a tad bit premature? China’s government is as evil and repressive as the Soviets were and they are fast becoming an equivalent military industrial nation.
