5) Human Rights - When Reagan called the Soviet Union “The Evil Empire,” he used their use of torture and violation of international agreements as his reason.

The implication here is that we are utilizing torture and defying international agreements.  There are no international agreements that govern the handling of people who do not wear a uniform and attack civilians by design.  These are terrorists.  The Geneva convention does not recognize them in any way shape or form.  As for torture, the United States has not engaged in torture.  The implication that it has is insulting and supports the arguements of the terrorists and those who front for them.  In fact it is the very arguement they make.

He remembers in WWII that the Nazis would surrender to the US, but fight to the death against the Soviets because they knew the Americans would treat them nicer than the Soviets.

What the hell does this have to do with some guy taking a dump on good conservative policy?

This is the second time I've seen you pull Reagan in to defend John McCain today, and the other was even less acceptable than this one was.

Please argue the merits of John McCain based on his own actions and quit trying to equate him with an honorable man.  He is neither honorable or a Reagan knock off.
