THE WORLD IS A MORE DANGEROUS PLACE

How different and safe the world could be I wonder if we had a the ability to go back in time!

Growing up as a product of the sixties I was constantly told of the evils of the USSR and the empire they controlled destined to invade us and force us into a life of communism.  We watched in the 80's in horror when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, how Iraq was our allie how President Ronald Reagan had the balls to stand up to all our enemies by showing that America was not a country to be messed with.. with her 600 hundred ship navy prowling the world and our B1Bs and B52s at the standby and missiles loaded in snug in their silos Reagan went toe to toe with Iran, East Germany, Cuba and the evil empire..USSR. 

Through Reagan's taking advantage of a robust economy we were able to bankrupt the Soviets and take down the Axis of Evil.  Today our economy can sustain our military.  Our once mighty fleet of 600 gleeming ships of prey reduced to less than 250 while we fighting wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo and now potentially Iran and Iraq.  With the Soviets in power we always could count on them never allowing their puppet states to obtain or gain access to nuclear, chemical or biological weapons.  Today ever two bit thug with a check book now can hold us at bay while threatening us with potential release of nuclear weapons. 

How safe and better a place perhaps the world would be if we allowed the Soviets to wipe out the Islamic extremists that threaten the world of Infidels and non believers! How safe I wonder would the world be if our idiot elected officials today had the common sense to understand that Reagan was able to succeed in keeping us safe because we had an economy able to fund and supply the brave men and women serving our nation.  How safe would the world be if we were a country able to still feed the world and exportation of goods by the ship load we keep people employed to pay the taxes needed to fund our military.

Bottom line how safe would the world be if we could go back in time and keep our nation focused on the common sense approaches Ronald Reagan used to lead what was our nation's potentially second finest hour?
