I wonder what Mr. Roberts take was on his former boss. Certainly he must be aware that the same gang of neo-conservative Reaganites comprise much of the current Bush war cabinet. I would argue that they perpetrated just as much unsavoury deeds under Reagan as they did under Bush. It was Reagan who gave Saddam the means to prosecute the lengthy war with Iran that killed close to a million. Then add to the resume Grenada, Panama, Nicaragua, El Savador, Honduras, Iran-Contra, Afghan mujahideen (Bin Laden)... Reagan was no slouch.
While Mr Roberts rails against Bush's EXECUTION and INCOMPETENCY, it is INTENT that people have trouble with. And on intent, his old boss wasn't all that different.
