No offense, but Ronald Maximus had his opportunity to confront terrorism in Beirut, and instead turned tail and ran.
If you will recall, the mission had all but ended when the Marines were hit by the suicide truck. President Reagan was the first president since WWII to effectively use a battleship, USS New Jersey, to enforce American firepower against a country (Lebanon) with which we were not engaged in war (battleships were used in Korea and Vietnam). (BTW, in WWII, the country was (Algiers) France)...
I use this illustration to point out his courage and determination in spite of a negative media. Your "boy" Bush isn't worthy enough to carry President's Reagan's bedpan when he was in the last stages of life.
