It is possible. However, some of the Iran-Contra stuff makes it hard to believe he really had all that thought out. I viewed him as less of a political theoretician as a gambler with a great gift as a salesman. He had his sense of right and wrong, good and evil, and was good at assembling teams and delegating tasks. Perhaps that's all that's necessary for lionization.
