  • If you want to have a real conversation, how about you brilliant defenders of Reagan's legacy reply one by one to the points we made in the video?

  • How come you don't make a video about Bill Clinton, after all he killed civilians in missile strikes in Iraq and Sudan. Or what about the 1 million people in Rwanda that were slaughtered in the genocide that Clinton wouldn't even admit was a genocide. What about the civilians killed in Kosovo in missile strikes or the Chinese journalists killed when the missile hit the Chinese embassy? How come you didn't make a video of Bill Clinton saying he'll burn in hell?

  • You're right, Bill Clinton will also burn in hell for his anti-poor, anti-third world stances and military actions. I encourage you to make that video!

  • And as for Grenada, that was a strategic manuever to prevent the Soviets from establishing a satellite in the Western Hemisphere in violation of the Monroe Doctrine. Not to mention, there were American citizens on Grenada that were in danger. And the operation was accomplished with relatively minute loss of life.

  • Actually, Reagan supported the coup that overthrew Ferdinand Marcos in the Phillippines, if only rhetorically. And the Sandinistas were the real terrorists in Nicaragua, not to mention they were funded by Jimmy Carter. I certainly don't think that the U.S. should have intervened in Central America, but nothing bad happened there solely because of that (of course, nothing good really came of it either).

  • In Nicaragua, the communist governement was sending weapons and troops to assist the communist guerillas in toppling El Salvador.Reagan never supported the dictatorship in Argentina becasue it was defeated by Britain in the Falklands War and was toppled soon after. Reagan invaded Grenada due to the fact that several hundred Americans were trapped there and that the Marxist government was allowing Cuba to send weapons and money to communist guerillas.

  • First the 70,000 people killed in El Salvador were killed by the Communist guerillas who were trying to prevent the people of El Salvador from voting in democratic elections. Second the 100,000 people killed in Guatemala were killed in a civil war that started back in 1964, 17 years before Reagan even became president.

  • you forgot to add increased employment, curbed inflation, stimulated economic growth, strengthened national defense, eliminated the threat of nuclear war between the soviet union and the soviet union as a whole, survived being shot, got california out of a huge debt and into a huge surplus of money, and continued to make american the best damn country on the planet. God Bless America and RIP President Reagan, the best leader this world has ever seen.

  • and oh by the way,this is the last I will say, Reagan wasn't at all the Great Communicator, the real great communicator was Pope John Paul II and Gorbachev
