TheAnvil 0 #1 March 18, 2005 Clicky This guy was a giant in political science. Though I think his containment theory was flawed in some regards and very useful in others, regardless of what you thought of him or his theories it's undeniable that he shaped the world we live in today more than a little. Didn't know he was still alive until I read the article. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

EBSB52 0 #3 March 18, 2005 Kinda funny how Reagan was given credit for the fall of Communism when: 1) The Berlin Wall (Germany of course) fell some 4 months after his exit from office. 2) According to the article Russian Comminism was still in power in 1991, years after Reagan left office. When the Communist Party (search) was finally driven from power in the Soviet Union after the failed hardline coup in August 1991, Kennan called it "a turning point of the most momentous historical significance." 3) The cold War had been going on for decades b4 Reagan entered office. ...why wasn't Bush 1 given credit, as he was VP during the Regan years and these events took place well into his term?
