Surely you jest Kevin. No one (Hey! I just noticed this new keyboard has TWO "M's" instead of an M and an N. Weird mess) speaks of Iran-Contra (IC), save for Democrats and of those they are relatively few in number. IC will be mentioned in all serious studies of the Reagan Administration, but it just doesn't have the power to hold the American imagination - unlike Clinton's "DNA" on the "little blue dress." A few eggheads will write about it in particular; but the overarching impression-- the image the vast majority of Americans will hold of Reagan, including historians amongst them, will be of the truly courageous leader who commanded Gorbs to "take down that wall!" and who saved America from the ineptitude that reigned during those abominable Carter years. We already see this. Indeed, I think in the most recent issue of Time there is a list of the century's most famous quotes and where Reagan is mentioned IC didn't even register. What registered was this "Take Down That Wall!" The fantastic thing is (and this is why it so much defines Reagan), dat wall came tumblin' right own down! Imagine if Gorbs had simply said "No!" and the wall persisted. Reagan be da man maaan.
