I lived thru Raygun's presidency -- both of them. And I lived thru while overseas where I was fully exposed to foreign opinions of Raygun in particular and of the US in general. Cannot get any better -- or worse -- than that.
And yet, the US, not only survives but gotten better -- as in we won the Cold War. Nancy's astrologer, personality conflicts, an assassination attempt, rumors and even accusation of mental illness. Pfffttt...!!! Gone. No calamities occurred then, and none will today.
So do your fellow Pakistanis on this forum a huge intellectual and emotional favor and reign in their childishness. As I have so often said on this forum in the past, that they focus on US to escape the far worse mess that is your country. A society that has %50 illiteracy rate in the 21st century has no business poking at US.
