Stone was kinder to Ronald Reagan than I could have imagined, then he explored the dark underside of his corrupt regime. Plenty of rotten apples to go around and many of them still around perverting the dream for monetary gain and power. Anyone thinking nostalgically about that crook Bush sr. thinking that he was a good man and President need look no further than this. The cast of characters is a rogue's gallery of sick proportions, William Cassey, Don Rumsfeld and on and on.
To think that Reagan missed the chance of a lifetime of ridding the world of nukes by refusing to dance with Gorbachev in Reykjavik is undoubtably the blackest of many black stains on his regime. The sad fact is that St. Ronnie was a doddering cold warrior who's faculties had left him long before he was annointed President. He surrounded himself with the worst people imaginable.
