Hi Stephen!

Viewed in its own context the Vietnam war made no sense. Viewed as a 
proxy war US vs. Soviet Union it *still* made no sense. If any nation 
should have wished to fight the Soviet Union the Reagan approach proved 
to be the correct one.

It was simple: Reagan identified them as the target, then engaged them 
in an arms race that drove them to bankruptcy.
