The Reagan Prize

In light of President Obama’s Nobel Prize for doing, well, nothing of note, Jeffrey Lord takes a look at the idea of an award for those who actually make a contribution to peace — The Reagan Prize.

The hard cold facts of history illustrate that the peace through strength policies initiated by President Reagan were a success. His belief in the importance of human freedom, in directly opposing tyranny and protecting liberty, combined with the maintenance and, when needed, projection of a strong military, ended the Cold War and the “evil empire” that was the Soviet Union. Reagan’s strategy freed millions of East Europeans enslaved since the end of the Second World War, which in turn was brought on by the inexcusably wrong-headed, naive if well-intentioned policies of one Nobel Peace Prize winner after another.

He makes a compelling case and the whole article is more than worth a read.
