OK, I understand your meaning. The science of gravity is the same as your ability to predict the future and read minds. In your world that is rational thinking. In my world your concept is jackassery.You are predicting and how I would react if something that didn't happen had happened. That is pure speculation.You are speculating in a way that supports your support for Reagan. The attack on the Marines was carried out by Hezbollah with support from Iran. Hezbollah is a terror group sponsored by Iran. Instead of hunting them down and punishing them the created Iran-Contra. Killing Americans became very profitable under Reagan.Reagan's failure to respond in a robust and meaningful show of force and punishment and to seek out the specific terrorist responsible for the murderers of the Marines and the attack on the Embassy in Beirut led to an era of fearless terrorist making continued and consistent attacks on Americans and American interest. Reagan worshipers hate to admit this and go into fits of denial when it is brought up, but it is a fact that is undeniable. Before the Beirut Embassy and Barrack's bombing that followed the Embassy attack, middle eastern terror groups focused on Israel and refrained from attaching Americans or American interest. After the attacks they added Americans and American interest to their target list as acceptable tactical and strategic targets.

Anyone who attempts to debate the fact about Reagan's response to the Beirut Barracks bombing giving birth to modern day terrorism need only show the terrorist attacks before Reagan came into office and the ones that occurred after the Embassy and Barracks Bombing.
And if Reagan has done anything more "robust", you would be claiming that modern anti-american terrorism was blow back from that.
No, there was not speculation in my post.
Your behavior leaves no doubt as to the fact that no matter what, you would put the blame on the Republican.
It contains about as much "speculation" as if you let go of an object over a drop, that it will fall.
MMm, yes, good analogy. The odds of gravity suddenly failing is about the same as you NOT blaming a Republican.
Where are your examples of Hezbollah off shoot terror groups attacking US targets before Reagan? Do we need to start listing the ones that happened under Reagan?
Sure it is.
I just dropped something.
Guess what? It fell.
I "speculated" that it would.
