Remembering Reagan’s wisdom

Not sure Michelle sees it that way, but I think Reagan stands out as courageous for realizing that it was wrong to think that peacekeeping in the Middle East was worth American blood.  He got us out after reconsidering his decision, from the standpoint of over two hundred killed.  Strangely, for many, “never forget” seems to be a wish that we could add other names to the list of the dead.

Disregarding Reagan’s wisdom is a huge reason why we are now descending into a Banana Republic both economically and legally.  It is also why we might possibly soon be ruled by one of the most extreme leftist regimes of our history.

    Mark, W got involved in the Middle East because of the risk to American lives in NOT getting involved. Maybe it was not the most effective method of limiting the risk; that remains to be seen. I’m confident Reagan would have seen the Middle East as the most significant threat to our nation and would have put the region at the top of his list, though I don’t pretend to know how he would have addressed the threat. I think you’re on very solid ground criticizing the economic policies of the last decade or two, though sorting out the responsibility for that is much more difficult.

    And I didn’t read the article, so I may be missing your point entirely. Now I need to grab a fussy baby! Have a blessed day!!
