Check your facts again. You initiated the personal attacks.

Do you have a source or attribution?

As to the content of the quote: Look, it takes two to make peace, this does not mean much. Obviously, if Reagan had refused to accept that the Russians were through and no longer capable of 'competing', he would have been a complete idiot. So, we give him credit for not being a Complete idiot, but this does not make him the man who ended the cold war, as you claim.

Your quote does not even address my argument. The Soviet empire was FINISHED by the 80's and their end was inevitable. The politicos of East europe who suffered and died in the solidarity movement had more to do with the final collapse than Reagan. Reagan was just around for the show and rhetoric.
