Reagan not only had strong moral fibre (a concept elite intellectuals today discredits easily, yet seldom comprehends), Reagan was more eloquent than anyone the radical left could put up in his way. But eloquence has nothing to do with what is right, as anyone who looks back at three decades of Kerry's speeches on Vietnam, on Nicaragua, on Libya, on Grenada, on Kuwait, on Iraq in '91, cannot help but admire the eloquence of John Kerry, yet any quick reflection will reveal that this eloquence hides not only emptyness, but bad judgment, the kind of mistakes that people who look back at history can only shake their heads at with pity. The sort of pity reserved to ones who stand at the wrong side at the critical crossroads of history --- figures such as Neville Chamberlain and Pierre Laval. This is why Churchill and Reagan's words still live to this day and Kerry has nothing to show for 3 decades of pretty words but letters strung together to form meaningless sentences.
