Reagan Initiated End of Cold War
Editor, Times-Dispatch: In his Op/Ed column, “On Bush I’s ‘Prudent’ Management of Cold War Efforts,“ Robert Strong belittles former President Ronald Reagan’s efforts to bring about an end to the Cold War and instead gives most of the credit to former President George H.W. Bush. “Reagan is the president conservatives love to remember,“ Strong writes, but Bush “was the president who actually managed the tumultuous events from 1989 to 1991 when revolutions were bringing the Cold War to a decisive, peaceful, and largely unexpected conclusion.“
