Reagan certainly was dedicated to the destruction of the Soviet Union. I still find it amazing that so many still decry his contributions to the fall of Communism. Who do you think knows more about why the Soviet Union collapsed? Gorbachev or the Reagan detractors? Gorbachev has often repeated that the Russians fully believed that Reagan was convinced they were an "Evil Empire" and that he would stop at nothing to see it broken. Without his calls for reform the Soviet Union would have continued along the same path for decades longer, after all, there were many more millions who could starve to feed Mother Russia's military complex.
