Those "mistakes" make 9/11 look like a church picnic and Reagan and his policies were DIRECTLY responsible. No not some "downstream" unforseeable side or after effect... but tens of thousands of corpses lying in streets and jungles. Next to his little forays into Central America EVERYTHING AQ has done so far is not even clos to Reagans intentional devastaion in three different American nations. To suggest that President Reagan made some kind of serious faux pas in South America, in particular Nicaragua, is revisionist spin. President Reagan campaigned, and had the overwhelming majority of Americans' support in combatting the spread of communism in the region, which was in fact, a continuation of the Truman Doctrine! Typical BS spin.... there were and are not any "commies" in Central America. Not one country here has ever had its electoral process overseen, can you say the same ?? Further, the same people holding office in the eighties have been re-elected yet again.. Ortega is President of Nicaragua, Arias is President of Costa Rica ...... funny but now ..... with the same elected parties and platforms these two countries are the USA favorite retirement and investment areas........... Like I said........... things here haven't changed... just the BS spewing from the US mind and mouth. How right could he have been ?? You seem to forget the melancholy that our Nation suffered after four years of Jimma, the debacle in Iran, and the expansionist Soviet Union's policies during the same era. 40 thousand dead Americans (indescriminate as to man woman or child) are sorry your feelings were damaged.... I KNOW.... they made you do it. > > With all due respect, maybe it is you that need to go back and refresh your > memory of the era, and what actually took place in this Nation, as well as > in the region that you reference!! > What does what took place within your borders have to do with your populaces ignorant fear of that which is not ?? So if things are rough elsewhere they can aleviate their worries by sending a death sqad or two to the USA and expect your understanding. I should feel safer knowing that the Heroin addict is doing the Reagan crops juice. You should feel good about all the crime and medical/jail bills you pay for are because the US was "uncomfortable" and had NO long range plan or sight. > > Keith > > On Mon, Jun 8, 2009 at 1:38 PM, Hollywood > <[email protected]>wrote: > >> >> Mark, >> >> Some people have apparantly never heard of Central AMERICA or South >> AMERICA. >> >> On Jun 8, 11:47 am, Mark <[email protected]> wrote: >> > Views and revisionist visions like that are EXACTLY why the USA is in >> the >> > domestic state it is and the disrespect of the world that it presently >> > suffers. >> > >> > I do believe you should read some history about the dark side and >> misdeeds >> > of of Alzheimer Ronnie.
