"I remember the millions marching in Germany against upgrading NATO defenses and missile deployment, when the European public sentiment appeared more vocal and averse to the US than it does now. Yet Reagan still led."

What's that got to do with Reagan retreating from Beirut after US marines had been bombed again?
Demonstrations?
Heck there have been huge numbers of anti-war demonstrations against Bush over Iraq in every corner of the world, including here in America and especially massive anti-Bush demonstration's Europe.
Hasn't made one iota of difference to President Bush's resolve in either Afghanistan or Iraq.
Anyone can ignore demonstrations, staying the course after thousands of American troops have been bombed to death is what takes real balls, and President Bush has a pair of big brass ones.
Just keep your rubbish coming will ya?

It was a response to this crap that you wrote in the same post:

You don't know what you re talking about. And you have no idea what happened during the Reagan administration either.

Sorry for assuming that you could remember what you wrote a few minutes earlier in the same post that I was directly responding to. You seem to have comprehension problems, too, so let me spell it out directly. I volunteered and campaigned for Reagan, so yes, I know a thing or two about him and what was happening back then.

You'll have to resort to another tactic to try and discredit thoughts that you don't like.
