Tributes to Reagan

There are literally hundreds of tributes being written and posted about former President Reagan.

There are three that I think sum them all up very well.

1. Alec Russell and Andrew Sparrow at the UK Telegraph

Lady Thatcher will give the eulogy at Reagan's funeral on Friday. It is the first time a non US Citizen will give the eulogy at a Presidents funeral.

2. Peter Robinson at the New York Post

As President Reagan knew he would be fighting Alzheimer's disease, he didn't fall into self pity but fought the disease with dignity.

3. Daniel J. Flynn at NRO

Finally, a political piece about how some on the Left are waiting to dance on Reagan's grave and how they still hate the man who set the end of the Cold War into motion, the end of many of the guerrilla wars in Central America and the revitalization of America.

All three are very good to read today.
