>FWIW I remember hearing the same thing about Regan before he finished his first year in office... it was unthinkable to almost any liberal back then (myself included) that he could possibly have the image he has now. Impossible. Funny how things work.<

I believe Reagan's legacy is not written in stone but will be affected by the results of the "Epic American Credit Bubble"<g>. In addition, the collapse of the Soviet Union may in retrospect be looked at quite differently as it may very well proof to be one of the triggers for the loss of America's economic superiority.

>Well, to be fair you DO need context included with that subject... how about the attempt against Cuba with the missiles coming in? What if someone WAS stockpiling nuclear weapons and had them targeted at US cities:<

I think international law is quite clear on this issue. This article quite nicely made the point at the time.

>What's your take on Truman's decision??? He could arguably be the biggest mass murderer in the planets history given a certain (moral) context... or the savor or many lives.<

From my perspective it was one of the most inhumane acts ever perpetrated and I have no doubt that future historians will portrait it as such. To this point, the victor has dominated written history.
