I grew up with Ronald Reagan as my president. I measure all recent presidents by his standard. I wish we had a President Reagan right now. I'm afraid we'll never again see the likes of him.
It seems I'm a bit older than you. I love Ronald Reagan. I can't imagine he would be hiding behind "I've done all I can do." Given the very basic nature of this ordeal being between right and wrong and good vs evil I can't believe he would remain silent on the issue for one moment. Reagan always took a stand. I miss him and his presidency very much.
I love Ronald Reagan. Have all his books. Love the man.
But you know, he didn't do anything after the bombing of our marines in Beruit. I don't know that he would have done more than Bush has in this case.
