When they say that the US owes him a debt they can never repay, they don't know the half of it. :(

A sad, sorry little man that was far too hateful to be deserving of the title President. He really should've stuck to acting, where his policies might've not required the dot com bubble and Clinton's efforts to clear away Ronnie's mountain of debt incurred from his policies.

While I agree that The Soviet Union had to go, I have to admit Reagan was LITTLE extreme about it. Also, I'm inclined to think that he EXTENDED the Cold War by bringing holier-than-thou sentimentations at a time when USSR/USA relations were quite friendly. Instead of lasting his two terms, I'm pretty sure the CW would have ended in at least 5. And, on top of that, you add the MASSIVE debt we have, and which, quite ironically indeed, he acquired from China, a COMMUNIST nation.

Don't mess with the Big Gipper... guy's dead, and there's no point to it at all. ;)

I was a kid. He raised minimum wage, therefore I liked him. He made my immediate life easier. I was too self absorbed at the time to really feel the political impact of his foreign policy.

Completely understandable. Everyone sees the world through their own experiences.

Really? I thought he was more of a free trade & anti regulation type guy. Personally, I'd save the "wanting to destroy the line between State & Religon" for GW Bush.

lol yes, the School of Americas. They trained Somoza's professional Guardia Nacional, a force of 15,000 which managed to kill off about 100,000 people in a country of a population of 2,000,000.

Then, we can thank Mr. Reagen for the Contras.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra_War

Thank you Reagan. You took the only Nicaraguan government faithful to its people and smashed it because it toppled the American supported Somoza government, responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of people, including Americans, and stealing billions of dollars from the US to create the most potent fighting force in Central America, which took the will of an entire people and the lives of about 100,000 to defeat.

The remaining hard-line Guardsmen would continue to fight for another 10 years, claiming another 50,000 lives, destroying all infrastructure and economy, and while the new government had to put its few resources it had (which still were channeled to the poor even in the face of an American embargo) to fight off a professional guerrilla force. The Reagen administration threatened that, if in the 1990 elections, if the Sandinistas won the presidential vote, it would mean the end of Nicaragua and no end to the Contra War.

Thank you so much, Mr. Reagen. Sincerely.
