Ted,
However, the primary cause of the Soviet's decline was its living beyond its means while supporting a very corrupt, oligarchic system of gov't. Its fall was inevitable and just happened to occur during Reagan's tenure.
I agree about the primary cause of the Soviet Union's downfall, but you have to admit that Reagan helped hasten its demise.

Carter would have postponed it because his way of making peace is by legitimizing adversarial regimes. Instead of causing or helping the Soviet Union collapse upon itself, he would have tried to keep the regime alive.
