Leaving aside all the super dodgy shit like the Iran Arms Deal and the sweeping economic 'reforms' that left millions of Americans in poverty, let's not forget their War on Drugs and Nancy Regan's special appearence on various TV shows like Diff'rent Strokes just saying no to marijuana.

Its at times like these that Hunter S. Thompson's euology to Richard Nixon becomes compulsory reading. Did the murder of Bishop Oscar Romero get even a footnote?
Reagen's contribution was as the guinea-pig Virtual President. We are now dealing with the re-percussions of the second installed mouthpiece.I doubt any Nicaraguan neede a hankicheif this morning,nor any of the brave souls who fought for civil rights.[Reagen, when of supposedly sound mind, campaigned vigoursly against Africian-Americian rights.]
His death will no doubt spark another round of Western-Media collusion of washing our sins away with phrases such as "mis-guided, forgetfull, mistaken, honourable yet flawed". Let their be no mistake on our behalf, a killer is in his grave.
RIP...
