Dear Scumbria: Re: "Gorbachev tried to explain it to Reagan, but Reagan had his own agenda." Oh and you don't? You have an agenda and if the facts do not fit your agenda, you ignore them. Gorbachev had his own agenda, stay in power. Besides, Reagan generated that policy at or before 1980 when Brezhnev was in power. Gorbachev came to power in 1988 well after the build up was complete. This is the blurb that the History Channel has on Brezhnev ( historychannel.com ): "Brezhnev, Leonid Ilyich 1906-82. Soviet leader. Rising through the Communist party, he became chairman of the presidium of the Supreme Soviet in 1960 and, when Nikita Khrushchev fell in 1964, first secretary (later general secretary) of the party. He shared power with Alexei Kosygin but emerged as the chief Soviet leader. In 1977, retaining his party post, he became president of the USSR. Brezhnev's hard line toward democratic or independent trends in neighboring countries, evidenced by the Soviet invasions of Czechoslovakia (1968) and Afghanistan (1979), often conflicted with his attempts at Détente with the West." Perhaps your revisionist tendencies are formed from your time in the USSR (they sure did it a lot). Pete
