OK, we're back to Reagan then.
What did/do you find objectionable? The fact that these treaties were signed
in Reagan's second term, or what was in the treaties?

He was and is respected by a very large swath of the folks, that's for sure,
some like him more than others.

They are "more flexible" when they face an opposing congress, which is how I
like it, even though I think the Democrats are they Party of 2027, which is
when the CBO says we run out of money at our present rate of spending.
But that is seen as a a rather radical position in DC these days.
