One more bit of honest history:

You said, "Ronald Reagan's warhawk strategy gave the fall of the Berlin Wall, the dissolution of the Soviet Union."

Self-serving nonsense. Millions of brave East Germans and Poles and Slovaks and Russians came out into the streets and said, "You can have our lives, but not our obediance." Millions of people faced the tanks with empty hands. They used the tactics of Gandhi. That's what beat the Communists. Reagan had nothing to do with it; he was safely thousands of miles away.

You're claiming a victory that isn't yours. You're furthering a Myth, The Myth of Redemptive Violence.
