[QUOTE="Zubaz, post: 2665589, member: 3528"] I don't see anyone in this thread saying Reagan had nothing to do with the Berlin Wall coming down. The closest I can find is my post that said Reagan "didn't navigate German reunification", by which I mean [I]when[/I] the wall fell, it wasn't Reagan managing the diplomatic moving parts in dealing with Germany, the Soviet Union, etc. It was not meant to say that Reagan was not central to that struggle. I think that might be where the miscommunication comes in. [I]Causing[/I] the end of the Cold War (with Reagan was central and Bush wasn't really involved) is a different event than [I]managing the end of the Cold War [/I](which Reagan didn't really do)[I].[/I] Where I think Bush gets underrated is people looking at the work he did during that time period and saying "Psh, that was Reagan, he was just in office when the Commies finally threw in the towel". That's not true. As I said, things could have gone a lot differently if the US chose a different diplomatic course during the wall falling, Eastern European revolutions, and ultimate fall of the USSR. [/QUOTE]
