No, the French gave him the money, they bought his Oil on very favorable
terms and the sold him Exocet missiles and aircraft, which he used to
blow up an American Destroyer. There's more than enough blame to go
around in power politics. Now please shut the hell up.

And one of the most unpopular to the rest of the world, particularly
Latin America (remember Honduras and Nicaragua?) and Iraq (where he
setup Sadam Hussein with a nice set of weapons to kill his own people),
or perhaps Afghanistan (where his policies left Bin Laden and co. setup
and nice little training camp after supporting him and the Taleban with
weapons and cash to kick out the Russians).
Sure he helped put and end to the cold war, but he also played an
important role in sewing the seeds of todays problems.
Toms pics were nice, pro-reagan patriotic pics - particularly the one
of the horse.

I thought Tom's photos were excellent, particularly the riderless
horse,
which I think is as good an example as any I've seen in the press of
that
image.
