Reagan was a great President who did the world a great service with his principled fight against Communism. Personally, I would have liked to have seen him follow up his invasion of Grenada with an invasion of Cuba something I have been advocating for the past 16 years or so. Communist revolution supporting and WMD armed Cuba poses a far greater threat than Iraq does or probably ever will. Particularly when Brazil falls to Communist control next month as I predicted in my articles a year ago. Time to enforce the Monroe Doctrine and come next month, Bush may have no choice even while we are bogged down for the next several years in the deserts of Iraq which the Commies may put to good use in taking over East Asia. However, I do not share your view that Reagan would be wasting America's blood and treasure in an imprudent invasion of Iraq. I think Reagan had a lot more strategic sense about what did and what did not pose a threat to this country and what did and did not advance the US national security interest than that.

Was Libya a clear and present danger to America? If so, why? They did not have the CB arsenal that Iraq has.

And what about Grenada? Good men lost their lives there. Did they possess CB weapons? Did they preach jihad against America? Did they harbor Abu Abbas, Abu Nidal or the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK)?
