"Nixon was a great President in many ways, esp. with regards to foreign policy"
I disagree with you his foreign policy. Nixon
1. Sucked up to China, a policy for which we will pay for generations
2. Supported a dictator in Pakistan who killed at least 1 million Bangladeshi's.
Well, you're right about China. I didn't think about that.
He didn't do as well as FDR if you wish to place blame. FDR kissed up to Hitler and knew about the Nazi concentration camps and over six millions Jews died. We can do this all day if you wish to do this but the numbers show Democrats have allowed many more people to die no matter how you look at it.
That happened for a reason, to drive a wedge between China and russia,..an important wedge,... Reagan finished the job that Nixon started...
