I liked President Reagan because he was a good negotiator. He knew that in order to be a good negotiator, you have to be willing to walk away from the table. In the above picture, Reagan is walking away from the table because Gorbachev wanted him to give up SDI, and Reagan said no.

In a Vietnam movie about a battle a Vietnam General once said : you gain honor by the courage of your enemy.
Even though Gorby and the Russian didn't like Reagan's answer, they admired him and respected him for his courage to say no to them.
