Thanks for your more civil post then mine was Dartguard.  I would say Dion was ahead of the curve when it came to climate change and wanting to make changes well before the people were mentally there.  I would also surmise even though I resolutely disagree with him that his hands may have been tied a wee bit on the SA deal....though integrity should have been the deciding factor where it clearly was not.  I am not a fan but I don't think he is as bad as Baird.   And bankrupting the Soviet Union and freeing people is not quite a black and white topic....The Crimeans after all wanted back in Russia and sought to avoid western intervention.  History has proven Reagan was not quite the agent of change (for good) you are suggesting, either domestically or internationally...
