The US had little to do with what the people in those countries did and we should quit trying to take that away from them.

  - We armed Afghan's and made that war so expensive in human loss and financial loss it crippled any chances to further expand. - Redmond Jun 3, 16:54 8

      - The peope in those countries get some credit, yes, but without Reagan's vision and leadership they'd still be living under communist rule today. -- nm - Stephen Jun 3, 17:00 6
        
        Excuse me? He wasn't the leader of those countries or their revolutions. -- nm - the liioulu with moe and less Jun 3, 17:02 2
        
        Without the US those people would have been SLAUGHTERED!!! DEAD DEAD DEAD! -- nm - Redmond Jun 3, 17:03 1
        
        And that's a rational argument how? - the liioulu with moe and less Jun 3, 17:07
        
        I am sure Carter's boycott of the Olympics made it all happen. That was a gutsy move there. Give credit where credit is due. -- nm - Redmond Jun 3, 17:01 2
        
        I'm not giving Carter credit either. I think we had FA to do with it. -- nm - the liioulu with moe and less Jun 3, 17:03 1
        
        I just like cracking on Carter even if I have to reach to do it. It's fun. -- nm - Redmond Jun 3, 17:03
  - And what's your argument for him not having anything to do with it? - Stephen Jun 3, 16:52 3
    - Lech Walesa, Vaclav Havel, the basic ineptitude of the USSR in many of its sattlelites. - the liioulu with moe and less Jun 3, 16:58 2
      - The collapse of the iron curtain didn't happen in a vacuum you know. - Stephen Jun 3, 17:12
      - So much had to happen before they even got to that point. You are talking about checkmate, but how did it get there? -- nm - Redmond Jun 3, 16:59
