The suspicious stuff you're inferring to was nothing more then partisan political bickering. Reagan was right to support democracy in South America. He was right then to support it, and he would be right today to support it. It's interesting to note, after this many years have passed, how right Reagan was in Nicaragua, and how wrong Tip O'neil and the leftist Democrats were. Moral leadership means doing the right thing even when a political price has to be paid. Reagan did the right thing and supported freedom, democracy, and free market capitalism across the globe. While leftist Democrats turned a blind eye to political persecution, torture, and dictatorship while living under the assumption that any system of government was equal to another; after all "who were we to judge" was their rallying cry? Is it any wonder Reagan's moral leadership led to so many people becoming free again in Europe? Is it any wonder that through Reagan's courageous call to "tear down that wall" it fell in such a short period of time? No wonder at all to me. President Bush now has us back on a track toward more nations being brought into the fold of freedom. I have little doubt during the next 7 years that nations such as Cuba, North Korea, China and many others will be much closer to freedom then they are today. Calling a spade a spade, "the Evil Axis", is a courageous first step in that direction. And just like Reagan before him, the pseudo-intellectuals have began their criticism and foolhearty chorus of "noooo, you're scaaaarrring us" again. History has a strange way of repeating itself. Let's hope it repeats the history of Bush's legacy of freeing millions held captive under communist dictatorial rule. Peace through strength is what works. We are now the world's only true superpower. With that power comes a great responsibility to encourage the world to move toward democracy, freedom and peace. This is a unique time in history where one nation is vastly more powerful both economically and military then any other. This unique time cries out for a serious President who will take advantage of it, and not squander the opportunity as Clinton did chasing skirts around the oval office, or fighting phony political battles. You're correct, our military strength rests on our moral leadership. Thank God we have a moral man now serving as our President. This is not a time for lying, chasing skirts in the oval office, or petty bickering across the aisles of political partisanship. Now is the time to end dictatorship, and send that despicable model into the ash-heap of history. Now is the time to bring peace to every corner of the world by united us under a common understanding of free markets, democracy, and the basic human right of opportunity to succeed, thus ending starvation. Now is the time cast aside the utopian model that a government can adjust to market demands and better redistribute the wealth of the world than the markets can. Now is the time to connect every nation to the vast knowledge available on the internet and usher in a new age of enlightenment to billions. As Martin Luther King once said' "Now is the time"!
