Editor:

In response to "It still remains a miracle," Star-Tribune's front page, Nov. 10.

I noticed that Barack Obama's name was in the article two times, Hillary Rodham Clinton two times, Chancellor Angela Merkel seven times and the ex-communist Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev a total of five times.

I also noticed that Ronald Reagan's was not mentioned once ... not once.

I believe it was Reagan, while at the wall in 1987, who said to Gorbachev, "Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall."

He was more instrumental in bringing that wall down than any other one person.

Also missing from this story are Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul.

Lech Walesa and Miklos Nemeth are the only two mentioned that had anything to do with the wall's collapse. Every other name in that article had nothing to do with this miracle.

Journalism is dead, and the CS-T should be ashamed for printing such garbage.

Too bad so many people have to depend on newsprint for their information. You would be a lot better if you stayed away from the Associated Press.

Go to history itself, not some place that wants to rewrite it.

Reagan always said, "God bless you and God bless America." And I say God bless Ronald Reagan.
