Was it really the fall of communism?
If the wall had come down during Reagan's presidency, it would have been the true beginning of the end of Communism. Instead we had a weakling in office who didn't know what to do with the situation. I still remember when the USSR fell how he and everyone else called it the end of the Cold War, when Red China was still alive and well. A few years later, Clinton was selling every advantage we had to the bastards.
