bet klinton could have made sure the soviet union hung on for a decade or two more tho.... would he be responsible for it not falling or just there?

oh... and you being a  liberal I would not expect yu to take responsibility for anything.

Reagan's share of the responsibility for the collapse of the Eastern bloc is precisely the same as my responsibility for the meteor falling ... we were simply there.

Then why care if he attends the funeral, or not? I could care less, actually.

I say let the French attend but make them stand way at the back over by where the waiters are.

This is not to begrudge the 40th president the thunderous applause that has come from politicians, journalists, historians and citizens to mark Reagan's final bow. Ill should rarely be spoken of the dead. But it is puzzling how these assessments of Reagan's accomplishments have improved so dramatically and uniformly in the 16 years since he left office.




Most certainly that is exactly what many liberals are doing in fear that by recognizing Reagan's accomplishments they will somehow transfer to the standing Republican president. They should at least remain quiet until the guy is in the ground. A lot of Americans liked Reagan alot, Republicans and Democrats alike. Any criticism at this time will most likely backfire on them.

DMF, see Straffo's post.

SOB, remember I said I don't give a fig if any French attend.

However, it's pretty obvious that the French would be incensed if the shoe were on the other foot. Just an observation.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

"The French", "French government", "Chirac", "The French president", etc, all mixed together undiscriminately, that's credible?

If you don't care for "the French" nor Chirac, why do you care?
Keep your blinders on and carry on.

SLO, relax before you have a seizure or something! Wow..

As for Chirac, he has said some pretty respectful things about Reagan. I'm not insulted or anything because he is or isn't going..I don't even plan to attend my own funeral if I can find some way to gracefully bow out of it.

I *do* think that if he doesn't attend, he will be passing up a good PR opportunity. I mean, he's a politician..would surprise me to see him miss a chance like this.

Maybe, someday, after this whole US/ French thing blows over...I'll be able to order French fries without my fellow Americans looking at me like I just shot Jesus  :lol

Funny I go look at jets when I want to dream of owning something I will probably never have in my life.
