Dr Michael Ledeen tells the story of how America led a democratic revolution. Then we elected 2 stupid Presidents that did not capitalize on this revolution andnow we have a nasty world.

Despite all of the detractors on the left. The Reagan revolution helped the world overcome the final vestiges of the cold war and began to come together. In spite of this, ALL of his sucessors have neglected to capitalize and continue a realistic and steady march toward the center and a liberalization of thier governments and economies. Countries that are larger more entrenched and there fore a harder sell are now coherent democracies, where those that should have been easy to achieve are quickly coming to the lists of failing or failed states. Bill Clinton did much good to help world peace, however him and his predecessor George and sucessor George Jr seemed to have forgotten the need to develop in the third world, in order to continue keep the world peaceful. Contentment brings peace, education brings peace. This book brought me education. More liberals and conservatives should read this book and then write thier congress people.
