Ah, yes - just as Ronald Reagan was not up to the challenge. Two years into his presidency, everyone wants to be an arm-chair quarterback.

Get the book, Reagan's War by Schweizer. Reagan was diligently preparing himself through intense study and development 30 years before he ran for the presidency. He was highly intelligent and inquisitive. Bush is, and never will be, a Ronald Reagan.

Here's a short political fill-in-the-blank /multiple choice test.

The following are excerpts from a March 23, 2002 Washington Times piece by Bill Sammon.

--------- Urges More Foreign Aid

"MONTERREY, Mexico: -------- yesterday said Americans are duty-bound to 'share our wealth' with poor nations and promised a 50 percent increase in foreign aid, but 'We should give more of our aid in the form of grants, rather than loans that can never be repaid,' he said. 'We should invest in better health and build on our efforts to fight AIDS, which threatens to undermine whole societies.'

"In addition to the moral, economic and strategic imperatives of increasing foreign aid, ------ said, it could also help in the war against terrorism.

"'We will challenge the poverty and hopelessness and lack of education and failed governments that too often allow conditions that terrorists can seize and try to turn to their advantage"
