As the great one himself, Ronald Reagan, said, "There's no limit to the things you can achieve if you don't care who gets the credit".

I love the great one, and agree as a matter of principle. But the fact is that had it not been for the U.S. and its allies, the status quo would continue. Saddam would feel no pressure to comply with a toothless U.N.

Why people would go from the west to Iraq and pass out brochures saying "We're on your side" and believe they are actually helping them, is beyond me. They have to learn the lesson that freedom is not free. Freedom does not come from pacifism. It has a price.

I don't disagree with anything you've written.

There are many at The Coca-Cola Company that would argue that this was first said by Robert W. Woodruff.

I believe President Reagan was a friend of Mr. Woodruff's and quoted him often.
