Guardian: Reports " George Shultz, Ronald Reagan’s longtime secretary of state, dies at 100...Shultz spent most of the 1980s trying to improve relations with the Soviet Union and forging a course for peace in the Middle East "
Lets Get Real:
The World owes a thanks to Shultz he was the great Secretary of State, in his diaries Reagan was full of admiration for his 2nd Secretary of State. In this blog's opinion a dream American Administration, would have Reagan as President, who else, VP of course being Bush 41, while James Baker would be Chief of Staff. The left was not always so full of administration for the Reagan Administration, does any one recall the nuclear freeze that the LEFT wanted for the West while allowing the USSR to build up its nuclear defences. This blog recalls George Shultz attending a Congressional Committee and being asked if he was aware that the Reagan Administration has not had a Summit meeting with the SOVIET UNION, so be it Schultz stated. The Reagan administration being tough with the USSR, lead to the INF Treaty, the first Treaty to reduce nuclear weapons and then of course we have the downfall of the USSR. The Reagan Administration deserves credit for this development and by accident Gorbachev.
