[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reagan won the Cold War.  Probably the biggest contribution to humanity since the end of WWII.[/quote]

TOTAL NONSENSE!  First, Reagan didn't do anything - the USSR dissolved!  And second, since WWII we have been involved in so many more horrible and deadly wars (Korea, Viet Nam, Afghanistan, Iraq) that WWII looks quaint in comparison.  [/quote]

Np.  First, While I disagree that Reagan "won" the Cold War, he clearly did something.  See, e.g., his policies.  Second, given the number of casualties and nuclear bomb, WW II does not look quaint.  So try again, bro.[/quote]

What policies actually ended the cold war? From what I see, Gorbachev had to wait until Reagan was gone to do anything.[/quote]

If Reagan had stayed a Democrat most of you denying he had anything to do with what happened, and how it advanced what happened, with Soviets would be touting his contribution.

Timing is everything in life...along with some things he did...the time was right. Communism was never going to be able to produce enough to keep the Soviet Union and all those welfare satellite nations the USSR was trying to hold onto.

See...the answer is in the middle. Those of you saying he did NOTHING...that's nonsense...those of you saying he WAS the reason...that's nonsense too.

Partisanship, lack of knowledge...both foster ignorance.[/quote]

Not really. I did several years of soviet studies. Social forces were going to rip apart the Soviet Union. This is what I was taught in school, before it happened. [/quote]
