The is a PUKE ALERT ARTICLE, if I ever read one. He's smoking crack or something. Reagan didn't change for some unknown reason. He bankrupted the USSR--he pinned them to the rug and wouldn't let them up. Remember the story about SDI. Gorby wanted Reagan to scrap it. He refused and looked Gorby square in the eye and said "You can't win." That was in Iceland. Not long after, the USSR folded economically and militarily. We won because they saw we were'nt going to back down and could kick their commie a$$ in a fight.

The same is true for W. A massive military buildup, which really isn't if you consider that Clinton/Gore gutted defense spending and R&D. So, we're just playing a decade old catch-up game with our adversaries.

In my opinion, our real nation-state enemies have yet to reveal themselves. I think you'll see that the war on terrorism is really a precursor to a war against the Muslim-China axis. That's why I think Russia is pushing for broader action against Muslims in their back door.

Goes back to why I was opposed to action in the Balkans. Clinton chose the wrong side. Instead of defending Muslims, he should have stood with the Christians and crushed their head.

President Reagan also let disinformation out about the cost of SDI. We did not, or were budgeted to spend, the numbers on SDI. He wanted the Soviets to sh!t their pants thinking of the money were spending. It worked.
