It's a shame that we haven't had anyone even approaching his stature in the White House since then.

Reagan was nearly disabled by Iran-Contra. Trading arms with Iran for hostages. Perhaps you forgot that.

You blow off Lebanon as if it was nothing. bin Laden always cites the Marine barracks as the first example of America not having the stomach for a fight with terrorists. Clinton followed with Mogadishu and Khobar Towers.

On the contrary, it was Reagan acting in the best interests of our country. Reagan managed to bring down the Soviet Union without getting the US bogged down anywhere. Bush might want to consider how Reagan did this. And let's not even talk about government spending. The point is, Reagan solved the problems he was elected to solve, and Bush hasn't solved anything.
