7. They teach our young that
America is never in the right, or the victor. Like this from the Salon Magazine article ‘celebrating’ the fall of the Berlin Wall:
“Yet the American imagination was soon overtaken by
the smug fantasy that the U.S. had “won” the Cold War…”
Really???
There has never been a time, since the inception of Communism, that their aim was no
t world domination.
Preventing it is, indeed, a win.
“Between 1974 and 1980, while the United States wallowed in post-Vietnam angst, 10 countries had fallen into the Soviet orbit: South Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, South Yemen, Angola, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Nicaragua, Grenada and Afghanistan. Never had the Soviets lost an inch of real estate to the West. The Brezhnev Doctrine stated simply that once a country went Communist, it would stay Communist. In other words, the Soviet empire would continue to advance and gain territory…”
"How the East Was Won"
In actuality, the US had won the Cold War, and Ronald Reagan was the reason!
“Reagan was made from far sterner stuff than was his Soviet counterpart. His genial grin and wise-cracking demeanor concealed a spine of steel when push came to shove. Yet at their next meeting in Reykjavik in 1986,
where Gorbachev would not budge on the "Star Wars" question, Reagan was decisive and unforgiving. He recalls in
An American Life how he stood up from the table to proclaim that the meeting was over. Then he turned to his Secretary of State: "
Let's go, George. We're leaving." Like any good diplomat, Shultz was crushed by so much roughness, but Reagan was completely unfazed. Later on, he explained: "I went to Reykjavik determined that everything was negotiable except two things, our freedom and our future."
