Still look at what he did.
The faults at which he had were in comparision quite large and destructive, The Contra's in Nicuiraga(mind my spelling) were brutal bucthers and the man compares them to your founding fathers. I just hate to see everyone praise this man when the truth is he was a D class president not a A. may he rest in peace but he deserves no glorification what so ever.[/quote:37499]
I hardly think that he was more destructive than good.
Those were much more complex issues than you making them out to be. None of us have all the facts about them even today. Correct me if I am wrong, but were you even old enough to rember Reagan? What makes you qualified to rate him as a president in the first place. You don't live iin the U.S., so how could you truely appreciate anything he did good or bad? It seems to me that you are just regurgitating some partisan rhetoric that you have read on the internet.
