On October 12, 1986, President Reagan Won the Cold War

Remembered today in a report and comments in Investors Business Daily written by John Heubusch.

Reagan did not back down on SDI(Strategic Defense Initiative). Gorbachev basically wanted U.S to stop building a defense against his nuclear threat.

President Reagan's speech in Berlin in 1987, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall", presumably the start of tearing down of the Berlin Wall on or about November 1989.

A war won without a shot fired. High marks for Reagan's statesmanship.
