RFC,
I'm not miscontruing anything. The liberals were running scared when Reagan built up the military and was ready to confront the USSR. Reagan fought to fund the military and the USSR tried to follow and collapsed. Clinton destroyed the FBI, CIA and tried his hardest to destroy the military. The weakened CIA and FBI is a direct cause of 9/11. Clinton gave NK NUKES, cash and fuel and directly helped prop the NK regime up, that may have collapsed by now.
Most democrats voted against freeing Kuwait. On all these ocassions history shows the left is on the wrong side. When the dust settles in Iraq the left will have more egg on their face.
