"Reagan's covert action in Afghanistan certainly DID have something to do with the USSR going broke."

That wasn't Reagan. That was Charlie Wilson.

But, I understand. You guys need a hero, and all you've got is the old B movie actor who drooled through his last term.

"Roll your eyes and rewrite history all you want"

I am not the one rewriting history. You are. And doing a piss poor job of it, I might add.

To claim that Reagan ended the Cold War by making a single speech is stupid beyond belief. Now, you can claim that that speech symbolized the events that led to the collapse, but you are claiming it caused it. Which is simple-minded.
