  Ronald Reagan 1911-2004



Point. Counterpoint.

And a surprising insightful remark here.

He was literate, self-depreciating and photogenic.

He was an ideologue who loathed ideologues, and an alleged enigma who liked people.

In late 1983 he nearly had the privilege of being the very last President of the United States. He (and everybody else) were lucky bastards.

He played a hawk with little concern for international niceties, whose greatest successes came with diplomacy and treaty-signing. His administration deliberately fueled genocidal blood-baths in central America, southern Africa, central Asia, and the Middle East. And he so hated the genocidal implications of Mutually Assured Destruction, that he tried to stuff the nuclear genie back in its lamp with expensive fantasy-and nearly succeeded. (Or maybe not.)

He also helped detonate the fiscal underpinnings of the United States. He stumbled on AIDS, and demonized welfare.

He traded with terrorists. He apologized for it.

He most likely meant well.
