No Reagan would have only been in office for 8 months, not since 1991, bombing in Afghanistan is evidently useless, and this isn’t a movie where we just go kill Bin Laden, it took ten years to find him and kill him, besides, killing Bin Laden was only a formality, Islam survives.

GW was not pussy footing around, he earns his place in the history books for being war aggressive.

Well you can believe this fantasy if you ignore all of Reagan's record to just focus on Lebanon. Just forget Reagan and Bombing Libya, Nicaragua and the Sandinistas, Iran/Iraq war, Grenada, Deploying Pershing 2 missiles to Europe, rebuilding the US military etc etc etc

Once again the libertine fantasy crashes on to world to ruin on the rock of factual reality.

Going to war with Iraq was neither reasonable, nor commonsensical, nor proportionate. Reagan wouldn't have gone there.

Nice you have feelings, too bad for you your feelings are base on a complete ignorance of both Reagan and the mission in Iraq.
