Nixon was not the best domestic president we have ever had. FACT. He may not even have been the best foreign affairs president we have ever had, but he was damn close to it! He got us OUT of Viet Nam (hey democratic supporters, how come you never mention that with the "things he did in V. N."?), he improved relations with China AND Russia at the same time, he (and another of his "lakey"s--Kissenger) *STOPPED* a war in the Mid East, and he was able to talk to leaders from all over the globe. If (and my opinion is not relevant here) Nixon is so guilt of atrocities and criminal activities here in the US, and you (and the rest of the democrats) are concerned with the *TRUTH*--not just getting him out of power--why were all investigations dropped as soon as he resigned? True, he could not face criminal charges because of the pardon, but civil damages could still be persued. At the time I thought it rather odd that the Nixon witch hunt was tabled for about six months when it occured to someone that they had better get rid of Agnew first, then continued when Agnew had been dealt with. If that sounds paranoid to you, go back a few years and check the news files to see if that isn't the actual order of events then try to explain it by any other logical means. I am waiting to be informed! From the Soapbox of Tom Condon {...!uw-beaver!teltone!teldata!tac} A Radical A Day Keeps The Government At Bay.
