I didn't know Reagan was the President who won the cold war during The Cuban Missile Crisis.

Let's see. The Bay of Pigs in 1961? Ike planned it. RFK championed it. JFK executed it......timidly. Fortunately, he had the CIA to blame. This was probably the first time that our politicians learned to appreciate the full potential of the CIA as a punching bag. The Cuban missile rematch, er, crisis in 1962? You do know that we bartered away our missiles in Turkey for the missiles in Cuba to end the crisis, right? Or maybe you just prefer the technicolor version of that story?<g>
