Russell Baker Zitate

Those who remember Washington's cold war culture in the 1980s will recall the shocked reactions to Reagan's intervention. People interested in foreign policy were astonished when in 1985 he met alone at Geneva - alone, not a single strategic thinker at his elbow! - with the Soviet Communist master Gorbachev.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Diejenigen, die sich an Washingtons Kultur des Kalten Krieges in den achtziger Jahren erinnern, werden sich an die schockierten Reaktionen auf Reagans Eingreifen erinnern. Die Leute, die sich für Außenpolitik interessierten, waren erstaunt, als er sich 1985 allein in Genf traf - allein kein strategischer Denker an seinem Ellbogen! - mit dem sowjetischen kommunistischen Meister Gorbatschow.

Why did we go to war? Why did we pick people from South Carolina, California, and all the places in between to go to a foreign land and risk their lives and have some die? To make sure that Saddam Hussein could do no more damage to the region or us than he has already done.

Reagan gave essentially the same speech from the beginning to the end of his political career, which was always, 'The American people are great, the government always screws things up, let's get the government out of the way.' On the foreign policy side it was, 'Communism is bad, and we're going to defeat it.'
