No lie. NATO, in 1979, unanimously agreed to deploy these missiles if the Soviet Union were to continue the build-up of SS20's.

But I'm sure you already knew that...

Tee hee, Horsie bought the Big Lie of the Left.

DUH -- what political leader would rant about how evil the country that they are VISITING??

People say one thing, and mean something else . . . . .

That story wasn't about just "saying nice things", it was about how he could sway what should have been a hostile audience so easily. That's talent.

Must you put down everything about the man? It's so sad.

Maybe the anecdote about Reagan slumbering during meetings was perpetuated by this quote of his:

- I have left orders to be awakened at any time in case of national emergency, even if I'm in a cabinet meeting.

The man was a natural with words and wit. Following the Hinckley assassination attempt in 1981, as he was about to undergo emergency surgery to save his life, he commented to the team of surgeons: - Please assure me you are all republicans?

So if the US gets a bunch of bad presidents in a row (compared to the rest of the world's leaders), and then they get a president that is only kind of bad, does that make him a great president?

If good and bad are defined differently in the US, then yes. The problem is that conservative and liberal are defined differently in the US, so for a US politician, you have to use those terms.

But I think you are missing the point. The reporter was an aide to the Reagan administration, and therefore he's biased. You can easily tell because when he's describing the situation he makes the US seem like the good guy and makes the Europeans sound evil.

In that case, do you believe anyone? After all, they are all biased.
