I don't know if I agree.  I seem to remember Reagan at various
times identifying with Dirty Harry and Rambo.  I even remember him
saying once in a previous "crisis" that "I saw "Rambo" last night
and I know just what to do" (yes, this is a paraphrase but I
distinctly remember him saying something to that effect).  I 
REALLY hope he never sees "Dr. Strangelove". (:^))

Of course everyone on the net is highly intelligent and has an
absolutely firm grip on reality, so of course I am in no way
implying that any of them would ever confuse fiction and real
life.  (smiley-face optional)
