I think the only reason Regan supported Iraq at the time was because the bigger threat was Iran, and still is today.

That's the same reason why we let the Iraqis go free in the Gulf War.. otherwise we would have slaughtered them all easily, but that would have left Iraq and its rich oil fields for Iran's taking, making them an even bigger threat.

Personally, I cannot say which party I am a part of. I am too young and have not seen enough outside of my white middle class neighborhood to say. Growing up with a hard working Republican father and a mother who is as Democratic as can be and, as a teacher, has seen many things in her life, certainly makes the choice harder. But it's all for the better, since I am educated in both fields..

The economy goes in cycles. Sometimes people make good decisions in regards and sometimes they don't.. that's just how it is.
