Ctembreull you neglect the fact that at the time when Donny was cozing up with Saddam Iran had just gone through a violent revolution where a radical theocratic regime took power and held 60 American hostages. We never pushed Saddam to attack Iran either by the way. He is a Sunni, Iran was Shiite ran, and as we all known Saddam is a paranoid nut. He was afraid of a Shiite revolution happenening in Iraq (which in thought definently sounds plausible due to the Shiite majority) just like happened in Iran, thats why he attacked. Furthermore Reagen may have been reckless but he was a good president and he did tons of good for world security by bankrupting the Soviet Union. Besides when it comes to cattering to Idiot foreign leaders Liberal/Dem's haven't done much better, you have Carter and Clinton both all up on Arafat's nuts and Clinton bending over to hook up Kim Jong II.
Last but not least you are really naive if you think the world suddenly just turned against us, the only thing this whole fiasco did was give forum for the world's Anti-American sentiment.
