Reagan is not directly responsible for the creation of Hamas... however, he is responsible for the creation of hezbollah... he commited those Marines to Lebanon and then after the barack bombings he pulled them right out- creating the modern Hezbollah and giving them their first victory. The point is that everything the right accuses the left of in regards to the middle east should be applied double to the right... failure to plan, short-sightedness, misunderstanding the local culture, and cowardess.
