  • EDITORIAL: Cain's foreign policy

    By THE WASHINGTON TIMES - The Washington Times

    One of the digs at Ronald Reagan before he was president was that he lacked a keen grasp of foreign policy.

Once in office, Reagan demonstrated that principle and vision could more than make up for inexperience. He had a good plan and stuck to it; the rest was just a matter of details.
