Reminiscent of Reagan in his second term.
That would be the term where he made the world safe for democracy and capitalism.
That would be the term that he became more and more comparable to Zippy the Pinhead. So, in your world, Latin America, all of Africa, most of the Middle east and just about all of the far east are safe for democracy and capitalism? Never mind the clampdown on even internal trade we're seeing in this extremely freedom loving country. Or don't you know anyone who actually distributes, well, just about anything for trade?

Reagan did some things I approve of, but I do wonder how any sane person can assert he wasn't well on his way to becoming a vegetable during the second term.* I only hope that baby-Bush has advisors good enough to keep him, in the prime of his life, from making the mistakes his former antecedents made in their decline. -j * Many say that Reagan caused the fall of the Berlin Wall, the opening of Russia, etc. I am not sure I agree that his policies caused it - I do think they probably shoved a starving man off a cliff. I believe that he and Daddy Bush lost a fine geopolitical coup when they didn't offer "compassionate colonization" to the emergent Russian nation state. The IMF and WTO are only political instruments when the U.S. feels threatened, and because of that it lost the biggest strategic thrust since Germany attacked the USSR. The current disastrous counterattack is simply moving more slowly.
