I worried when Reagan won and nothing earth shattering happened.

Nothing so awful happened if you lived in the US. The Reagan impact was felt most drastically by the citizens of those right-wing dictatorships that Ms. Kirkpatrick loved so dearly. (Imelda Marcos celebrated Reagan's victory with a party that would have made Bacchus blush).

This is something I worry about with the Bush crowd: it is easier to push a far-right strategy in foreign policy, which is less closely examined and less likely to provoke a mass backlash. If Bush feels he has to let the wild-eyed crowd have their way somewhere, he might choose to let them have it somewhere far away.
