Gorbachev hoped to save the Soviet Government, not destroy it.

The article seems to suggest that Gorbachev purposely brought down the Soviet government. The better statement would be that the government had lost so much credibility among its own people that he hoped that his policies of 'glastnost' and 'perestroika' would restore such credibilty. Instead, the greater openness let loose forces that undermined the government.[[User:Alloco1|Alloco1]] 17:42, 16 March 2007 (EDT)
