I am no conservative or Reagan lover, but he was one of the great American Presidents. And it was by more than just being at the right place at the right time, he was the right man for the time. Reagan saw the end was near for the USSR, and did everything he could to hasten it (mainly rhetoric and military spending/intimidation). I don't know if somebody else would have been so aggressive... he played the game well.
