I have to say when you say something bad about President Ronald Reagan who turned this country around and you may not remember what this country was like in the 70's with inflation etc. As I served in the military which President Ronald Regan built up from the death of NAM. He brought an end to the cold war, it hits me hard when you defame a man who stood for everything American. He was and is my hero.

Pravin: << Reagan has Alzheimer's and is probably carrying on negotiations with his dog thinking that it is Gorbachov. On the other hand, he probably did that while he was in office ... what a nincompoop.>> If a genius lives long enough, time takes its toll on his brain and everyone is susceptible to Alzheimer's disease. Some develop dementia in late middle age and it is progressive. But every one is a potential candidate for AD, if he or she lives long enough. Just my opinion: It is not nice to make adverse comments, when some body is down and out. He was one of the most liked and respected presidents. <<Bush was kissing Saddam Hussein's ass, and then realized that he made a terrible mistake.>> Bush did not go for the jugular and destroy the military to the last man, so far Iraq was concerned. His intention was to punish Hussein, but not destroy Iraq and create conditions for civil war. It might have been a bad judgment in the interest of humaneness. There is no way we can make judgments on a president's action retrospectively, because we were not there in time, place and circumstance. JPR
