| 6. Reagan Did One Important Thing Right |
|
He allowed Gorbachev to successfully pursue peace with the US and to pursue what amounted to unilateral disarmament without being attacked. Reagan had to overcome a lot of neocon resistance to do that. Personally, I think Bush would never have allowed it -- he would have made sure hostilities continued.
Having said that, I can't imagine why people still think he was a good president.
