Happy Birthday, Mr. President
Today would have been Ronald Reagan's 94th birthday. He stood up to the Soviets when much of the world didn't want to. He saw containment and balance-of-power for what they were -- defeatist compromises. He understood that freedom is infectious and that the surest path to peace is strength. We miss him.
Two bloggers have posted fitting tributes:

Perhaps I wrote poorly. He was certainly about containment, but unlike the detante crowd who wanted to contain and play for a tie, Reagan was about pushing back and not just containing communism but shrinking it.
