I believe that the worst foreign policy president since World War II, Jimmy Carter, was much more dangerous to the security of the world (and U.S. interests in particular) than is Ronnie Reagan. The Soviets can now say, "he says what he means," "he enforces his warnings," and "he doesn't waver back and forth". 'Change his mind Jimmy' didn't allow them that luxury. Right or wrong, at least if the opposition knows what to expect, the possibility of accidental conflicts should be minimal. I think tough hard-liners, whether in this country or another, feel more comfortable dealing with their own kind rather than with an unknown quantity. This type of mutual respect tends to make relations more stable - even between adversaries. Carl W. Amport Naperville, IL.
