I don't say this about just anyone.
But he was a great, great man. The courage he showed was incredible.
I've been to Poland many times, beginning right after the iron curtain fell. John Paul is revered there, not just as the pope, but as the person who gave them the strength to stay with Solidarity and to fight for their freedom.
But now I'm regretting I always arramged my trips for when the he *wasn't* in Krakow.
