Many credit Reagan with restoring optimism and "win" the Cold War, but forget that also accumulated a huge deficit in the mortgaged the future of its economy
I stayed the course with the gang after the Reagan inauguration of his statue in Grosvenor Square, yesterday. This meant attending the gala dinner in the city of magnificent Guildhall in London and the ridicule of his colleagues in the pack hack to reach the various toasts the 40th president, the queen and other known (by hacks) to the class of enemies guardian.
Regardless, it was a fascinating opportunity tribe, an opportunity for indigenous peoples are often not tribalist. Apart from my own report on today's presentation saved at least two reports with longer spikes Reagan and his legacy, unlike most conservative newspapers, they were happy with captions unremarkable.
It cuts two ways of tribalism. Back to this in a moment.
Anyway, I was impressed by the power powerful high brightness of the myths in both sets of speeches I've heard conservatives and Republicans dignitaries gathered in Mayfair and later gathered at the Guildhall to do everything again, this time as an expensive campaign.
As I mentioned yesterday, Reagan had a sly charm and political skill. Thus, during my stay in Washington for his second term I quickly realized that when the Prez (personally liberal in his instincts, he lived in Hollywood for years) attacked abortion was probably intended to lower the pro-life . He was a chameleon quality, which says Medhi Hassan, article comments page.
no sense here, spend more time making holes in the claims made by William Hague, Condoleezza Rice, and other artists interested in promoting Reagan as a statesman in the world of end of 20 because they have "won" the Cold War -. verb Defence Secretary Liam Fox of choice
interests me here is the impact in their own country, not the rest of the world that is revered in Eastern Europe - as Margaret Thatcher - to help bring down the Berlin Wall and Eastern Europeans to win the first two titles at Wimbledon last weekend, but not revered in areas where U.S. policy is less benign.
can be said of Thatcher, in fact, climate change policy and management in Great Britain during his 11 years in power after 1979. At the end of the solution of the postwar economic and quasi-democratic social marketised for more, which made things good and bad. Everyone benefited, even those who have lost their jobs, but today we are also feeling the cost of train 2007-09 financial crisis has been launched.
Cana claim made by Ronnie - as Nancy Reagan called him a video message last night - the United States, and an economy more than any marketised in Western Europe when he became president in 1981? I do not think so.
speakers yesterday made much of the restoration of American confidence and optimism - "Morning in America again" was the motto - and there is much to say about the contagious optimism
But Reagan is open to the same charges that the same good people at City Hall was against Gordon Brown. This means that the accumulated deficits unsustainable and mortgaged the economic future of the country
- While Reagan star wars defense program may have a bust of the former USSR, but the U.S. has helped bust all sorts of ways. China now has squillions. However, among the speakers at yesterday Condi Rice gave no idea of ??the complexity of what is at stake, as did a review of the Cold War - the success was not always inevitable - and spoke movingly of Freedom and Dignity
took the civil rights movement of the 60s (do not say how it was opposed by the Republicans) to change the life of a "girl like me, in Birmingham, Alabama." But he had the grace to say enough and to quote Martin Luther King, and Reagan. Good for her.
