RE:"Steve, what about Beirut, what was Reagans response when terrorist killed ~240 of our soldiers?" Actually, Reagan went on TV and accepted responsibility. Rare by a President, anytime.

Just for you John, Steve, what about Beirut, what was Reagans response when terrorist killed ~240 of our soldiers? foxnews.com In the aftermath of the terrorist bombing in Beirut, Lebanon which killed 241 Marines, sailors and soldiers, President Reagan flew to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. After the ceremony, the President and Mrs. Reagan were greeting the families of those who had been killed and wounded when a little boy about four or five years old looked up at the President and said, "Mr. President, can you bring my daddy home?" Lesser men might have gone on by or ignored the youngster, but not Ronald Reagan. The president reached down, picked up and hugged the child whose father would never come home. With tears flowing down his cheeks, the President said to the little boy, "I wish I could." That was no act. It was the raw emotion of a President who felt great compassion for that little boy and the sacrifice his father had made on behalf of this nation.
