Their economic systems worked so well
that Reagan had to drive them to bankruptcy
with the Star War program...

This is clearly the reason Communists countries
have a difficult time. If they stay with the tried
an true ecomonic methods (not the Chinese version
of Capitalism) they will survive forever. It takes
a man like Reagan to force these strong systems
into finacial ruin.

Look what Bush and Cheney have done to North
Korea. North Korea was never in trouble until Bush/Cheney.
The people were oh so healthy and happy until Bush
forced their hand.
