>>I agree with the argument someone made sometime back that it matters what Reagan's intent was. The only problem is that we have no serious way to know that. Given that, the way they structured the situation in the context of the time, gives us our best clue.<<

John -

Having a clue and making the categorical claim that one knows something are two very different things. Thus, I would not make any assumption about Reagan's motives, nor about anyone else's, in the absence of something better than a clue.

Others are free to think what they will. That's just how I view the issue.
