I am afraid this is a religious argument you are engaged in. We are the agnostics or atheists- and they are the believers- you won't get any farther here than you do arguing about the nature and existence of God- another egocentric leader full of wind supported by entrenched business interests (imo).

>>This is what the records shows happened. If it is not a hoax, you owe me an apology. The sources is the same Garry Wills book I mentioned earlier, p l68. Of course I do not. Wills is wrong if he writes that. I mean let's face it, hearsay from people who probably have trouble with English cannot refute what Reagan had been saying for years and in his own written record. Ronald Reagan was in Army Air Force Intelligence during World War II. Reagan did indeed become one of the first Americans to discover the full truth of the horrors of Nazism. His job included preparing classified films about the progress of the war to be shown to members of the general staff in Washington. As a result, he handled a lot of classified footage that would never be seen by the public. During the final months of the war Reagan and his group began receiving secret Signal Corps films showing the liberation of Hitler's death camps. Reagan described his reaction to those films and the fact that he saved one of those films. pp98-100 An American Life You pass on lies and distortion because you endorse what Krauthammer decries: Ours is a time of pygmies being big-me's. Living in, as Francis Fukuyama correctly predicted, an era of unnerving placidity and thus ennui, we seek vicarious elevation by parasitically projecting ourselves onto the greats of the past. Morris's attempt--relentlessly inserting himself into the life of perhaps the last American world-historical figure and author of the most successful presidency of this half-century--is surely the most spectacular such exercise in parasitism. But it will not be the last. washingtonpost.com
