Gorbachev on Gorbachev.

Timesonline has a very interesting interview with Mikhail Gorbachev. Although his claim that Jesus was a socialist is laughable. But I always laugh when anyone tries to paint Christ with a political brush. Christ claimed to be one thing and one thing only. Our Savior.

I was touched by Gorbachev's description of missing his wife who passed away in 1999 until the last sentence:

"You can say I am lost. The first three years really threw me out of kilter. Raisa was always the foremost in my mind, and remains so in my memory. What Gorbachev is to the world, she is for me."

Think a lot of yourself there, don't cha Gorby? Geeze.

Gorbachev also speaks fondly of Pope John Paul. He says they wrote letters to one another up until his death. I would LOVE to take a look at those letters.

Anyway, good article.
