Daily Gut: Fall of Wall All About Obama
Updated 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Source: http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/
So President Obama says he’d like to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki – something no sitting U.S. president has ever done. Of course, there’s a reason they haven’t: it could be seen as criticism of a painful decision that ended the bloodiest war in history.
Now, I don’t mind if Obama wants to go, and it’s probably presumptuous of me to criticize him for what he might say there, since he hasn’t gone yet.
But if I didn’t, then I wouldn’t ...

You have to understand scope of involvement and the localization of history. Without Reagan, the Cold War would have continued. His approach to the Soviet Union was the lynchpin to ending their existence. Thus, Reagan won the Cold War.

That's pretty much the way the MSM and the left in general have played the story. The USSR was crumbling from within, and Super Gorby swept in to gently guide it to ground, and the only part Reagan played was to be Gorby's stooge.
That way they could play down every one as doofuses, and Gorby as the greatest hope for man kind's future. But that's all a lie. Gorbachev was

If the true and only point was to improve relations with Japan, fine. Not that it will make the least difference with regard to China or India. I´m sure they have heard about Japan.
So why has Obama snubbed India diplomatically twice (perhaps in a juvenile attempt to be unlike Bush, who took great care to improve our relations)? Why insult the British, Czech and Polish governments,

That's really interesting! I don't think we ever got to the 80s in history class. I was alive when the wall came down but I was pretty small. But I never thought Reagan won the Cold War all by himself. I heard that the USSR sucked and was weak because they sucked; we put pressure on them and they kinda had to cave. I appreciate Reagan for not being a pansy, and this Jackson guy for being ... See all content

Slathering the rose-gloss onto one's glasses in regard to iffy cultural history is hardly unique to Japan.

The problem is that there's always a significant percentage of people who interpret "We regret this" as meaning "It was wrong of us." And I don't doubt that the Japanese would tend to interpret it that way. They've never explicitly retaliated, as you rightly point out, but an unsettling number of World War II memorials erected in Japan choose to paint the U.S. as ... See all content

I was a teenager when the wall came down, and in the interest of full disclosure, my former parter of several years was originally from the DDR. Nothing of what I'm saying here is about the wall falling, it's about people attempting to jump on it and claim it as a victory for their country. It was a victory for the people involved, not something that foreigners won.
