Make Peace

The scene was that of Ron and Nancy Reagan preparing to board a helicopter which was idling in the background and a slew of reporters trying to get "one last question" answered -- so one reporter shouted something to the effect:

 

           "Mr. President -- what about Iran and Iraq?"

 

Reagan raised his 'hi-five' hand salute and with a huge grin said:

 

           "let them kill each other off over there."

 

And that was and is the true foreign policy position of the godless radical right.

 

One million casualties later [the IranIraq War], it became a known fact that the duplicitous Mr. Reagan had armed Iraq overtly and had armed Iran covertly [as in 'let's you and him fight'].

 

Reagan was never prosecuted.
