Supporting people who were fighting for their freedom from the communist backed Sandinistas is pretty evil huh? Well even if it were and truely "resulted in thousands of civilian deaths" (which is questionable since these people would still be fighting for their freedom today without Reagans actions - the Sandinistas fell shortly after Moscow cut off funding.) the precident it set helped end communist rule in Russia. Couple figures for ya - pay attension to the first one:

From Reagan's War by Peter Schweizer


Have some respect for a man that made the world safe for you to troll threads in your spare time.
I am from the former Soviet Union, and while I do not remember what life was like there, my parents do, and they say it was best in the early 1980s. Thank you so much, President Reagan, for fucking up the economy of my homeland. Also, seeing as Reagan gets so much credit for breaking up the USSR, perhaps he should be thanked along with Gorbachev for DECREASING THE STANDARD OF LIVING IN HALF. My parents would have never wanted to leave (though they definitely could, to Israel or the US) if the Soviet Union didn't break up and the economy wasn't in ruins.

While trading arms for hostages is pretty reasonable and humane to me, using the profits from those sales to fund armed rebel groups is not. Reagan wanted to eliminate the Sadinistas because any left-wing government, in his eyes, is evil, causing thousands of deaths.

Thank you President Reagan. I'll join you in hell.
