You cannot claim that Reagan caused the Soviet Union to collapse because he made a speech calling for the Berlin Wall to be torn down.

The importance of that speech, and in particular, that phrase in that speech, cannot be overstated. But it was more than just a speech.

The bottom line, indisputable fact is that Reagan was the catalyst that made it happen. Without him, we might still be facing the Cold War Soviet Russia. We don't know.

For you to discount Reagan's importance to this subject is a result of either ignorance or a general unwillingness to accept a fact that is inarguable -- Conservatives make better leaders. Just as Bush has been the catalyst for the positive things happening in the MidEast today, Reagan was the catalyst that made the Cold War come to an end. Gorbachev's Nobel Prize notwithstanding.
