also, you're saying that if Reagan had lost in '80 and we had Democrats in the whitehouse that the cold war would have never ended and we would still be fighting the soviets now? I'm pretty sure they're were crumbling on their own. I don't think Reagan's little "tear down this wall" speech made them throw everything up in the air and give up.

If we gave up on fighting the communists and didn't push for democracy then than who knows what kinda regime might have came over the Soviet nation. You can't just say that something would've happened anyways, because there's no way to proove that everything else would be the same. It's kinda a juvenille look on time but saying that Ronald Reagan had no hand in the downfall of the Soviets is too...
Just because you didn't like the man doesn't mean that you have to like him now that he's dead, just don't disrespect him...
