What was Ronald reagans role in world war 2?

Ronald Reagan brought us "Supply side economics" which reduced the taxes on business so they could use the the money to re-tool themselves and grow. It worked well and 30 million new jobs were created. The boom he started lasted through even the Clinton years. Reagan also didn't like Communism, and called The former USSR government "evil", and demanded the removal of the Berlin wall, which they were forced to do. He also re-built the military that was gutted by President Carter. He also decreased the number of terror incidents against Americans because of his strong military approach. He understood that till this day Iran has declared war on us. This was done in 1979 and is in place still today in 2009. He also attempted to gut the EPA, turn over our national forrests to logging companies and he also wanted ketchup classified as a vegetable for school children receiving free or reduced fee lunches to indicate he cared about their nutrition.Great!Remember what Regans anti environment ,secretary of the interior James Watt said...after the last tree is felled god will return.James watt under Reagans direction,refused to accept outside conservation groups money to protect federal lands,he as well attempted to de -Authorize National parks so that they could be pilloried by special interest groups.these are the types of people Reagan surrounded himself with.Look up Iran-Contra for example,where under qustioning ,Regan nor any of the other of the law breakers could remember any of it ever taking place.Reagan remains an anti Government Conservative Icon to this day. he lowred taxes
