Question for Eggplant: You say that all your predictions about Reagan were wrong and then assert, “Had the United States begun deploying third generation nuclear weapons, the Soviet Union would have had no choice but to respond preemptively with submarine launched nuclear weapons and attempt nuclear decapitation.”

All my predictions about the effect of Reagan’s actions were correct, and I disagree with your assertion.

Jimmy Carter, on the other hand, was the Wrong Way Corrigan of foreign policy. He handed a peaceful, stable US ally (Iran) over to terrorists, allowed Castro to empty his prisons into the streets of Miami, forced Clinton to sign the treaty that allowed North Korea to develop nuke weapons, supports Hamas against Israel, and kept Hugo Chavez in power by saying a rigged election was fair.

I’m guessing that you are a Carter supporter?
