Italian Prime Minister Massimo D’Alema, former Communist
New York Times, 9 January 1999
The years ahead will be a great one for our country, for the course of freedom and for the spread of Civilization. The West will not contain communism, it will transcend communism. We will not bother to denounce it, we’ll dismiss it as a sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages are even now being written.
Ronald Reagan, New York Times, 18 May 1981
