Jewish World Review: Thomas Sowell: The Vision of the Left

The Vision of the Left

“Very few people have either a vested interest or an ideological preference for a world in which there are many inequalities.

…For those who bother to study history, it was precisely the opposite policies in the 1980s β€” pouring tons of money into military equipment β€” which brought the Cold War and its threat of nuclear annihilation to an end.

The left fought bitterly against that “arms race” which in fact lifted the burden of the Soviet threat, instead of leading to war as the elites claimed.

Personally, I wish Ronald Reagan could have talked the Soviets into being nicer, instead of having to spend all that money. Only experience makes me skeptical about that “kinder and gentler” approach and the vision behind it.”

Peace Through Strength!!!
