G'morn Christine!

>>However, I think a president who is guided by a movie from, when was it, 1936 about star wars, and continues unflinchingly to pursue that as a goal is again fortunate that the madness stopped before we bled our economy dry or there was a final conflagration.

Come now, do you actually think that he believed that? That was an amusing license by the editors. Funny how the really smart people believed in it, like Teller and Gorby. Why didn't Gorby laugh it off? Seems like Reagan had to show he believed it so others would too. And the fact that they did believe is all that matters.

All in all a brilliant ploy that brought the Soviets to their knees when few thought that was possible. Easily one of the greatest in modern history. The madness did not just stop, RR stopped it and now those once military resources have balanced the budget.

History repeating as farce: We now have an almost-President that devotes his time to bringing others to their knees.
