If you were to say that Western and American democracy and capitalism brought down the Soviet Union, I would agree that it was a very large factor, along with the inherent faults of communism. If you were to say that Reagan, as leader of the Western world at the time, was the steward when the inevitable happened, that would be a fact. But saying that Reagan 'caused' the Soviet Union to fall is like saying that pilots 'cause' their airplanes to fly.
