Reagan was fucking badass -- no doubt. but he also contributed to terrorism in his own lil' ways.
best example is pulling the marines out of lebanon after they bombed the base in beruit. that showed terrorists that the jaded americans are softies and will pull out whenever trouble comes knocking.
reagan also hooked up the taliban, ossama and co. to fight the evil commies. ok the soviets are gone (even though they actually regulated an entire hemisphere and controlled all of our current headaches), but now we get to play w/these guerilla maniacs. afghanistan bred the first wave of terrorists, and now iraq is training the new blood.
don't get me wrong, reagan was a pimp...but he contributed to the current state as well. no e-mail chain letter can convince me otherwise...the current republican party is occupied by the idiotic religious right.
btw, i just cheked out the reagan library, pretty cool...they are building a hangar for his airforce1.
