12/16/2004 | Hilarious. I'd also have loved to see the look on his face when he realized that all of America just heard that.

10/30/2004 | While a lot of people were laughing that one up here, I bet a lot of Russians were pitching a fit. Great stuff.

08/23/2004 | Little did most of us know at the time, but Reagan had the outcome of the Cold War already calculated upon taking office, and this was just an insignificant indicator of his brash confidence in the strategy. Liberals around the world lost credibility for subsequent outrages because their paranoia showed and was roundly discredited and mocked. This was the beginning of the teflon president era, where the liberal media could not understand the popularity of a leader they found so confoundingly stupid.

08/20/2004 | I thought it was cool, but I'll bet Gorby about popped a blood vessel up stairs over this joke.

06/07/2004 | Actually, Dirk, pretty much the whole world, lead by the USSR, had been declaring the USA a rogue nation for decades. Maybe you've heard of the UN? I think he was lampooning that fact.
And, Ignatius... Shut up. As one who knows, Russia was always scrambling ath the drop of a hat, you just didn't know that, nor, likley, much else.
And, yes, Reagan had that remarkable genius to not only become consciously aware of what all the rest of us we merely unconsiously aware of, but to also succinctly express it. That pretty much robbed the USSR et al of their favorite tactics, exposing them to more light than they could bear (pun intended), ultimately exposing an even deeper truth (their own utterly bankrupted system) and driving them to acept the inveitable, lower their swords, admit defeat, and allow presumed enemies to become friends instead.
Now, North Korea...

04/13/2004 | There might have been a pretty large hole in Northern Asia right now had Reagan done this. But really, Reagan pushed the Soviets against the wall. Their days were numbered by the 1980's as a result of their economic policies, but yet it could be fairly stated that Reagan's strategies pushed them over the ledge without too much conflict.

03/11/2004 | I know I was supposed to be appalled, but I actually thought this was pretty funny, but then I do have a morbid sense of humor.
