Reagan brought down the Evil Empire so that his party could become |
|
the purveyor of Empire (capital E), gulags, torture, and tyranny. Now that's a talking point! Deflate the myth, and print the truth for a change.

2. Reagan didn't want competition. |
|
Regarding George W Bush and Saddam Hussein, perhaps Bush viewed him as a rival. It seems that Bush has set out to establish himself as more of a sociopath than Hussein.

3. Reagan did not bring down the evil Empire |
|
No more than Sears & Roebucks catalog did...It was not Reagan that made those people wish for the things the rest of the world enjoyed.
