I recently bought The Day After and thought it was eerily reminiscent of the liberal-left’s mocking of the War on Terror.  Like Reagan, Bush understands the only way to win a war is to take the fight to the enemy.  And like the liberals of the 1980’s, the liberals today don’t have the courage to face down the enemy.  Twenty years ago, they called Reagan reckless and his defense policies dangerous; today, which I’m dubbing The Day After Yesterday, they accuse Bush of conducting a war of choice, not of necessity.

Their intention today, as it was in the 80’s, is to weaken the war effort by creating mass hysteria.  Not only do they lack the courage to win the war and protect the American way of life, their intention, like the terrorists, is to destroy the current fabric of American society: both morally and economically (hence the liberals promotion of The Day After Tomorrow).
 
The Day After is perfect evidence of how wrong the liberals are.  I highly suggest everyone buy a copy and see how the liberals viewed the winning strategy which bankrupted the USSR and hastened the end of the Cold War.

The theory at the time was that Reagan, intentionally or not, was goading the Soviets into a war.

Don't bother trying to explain it to them.  To them, all the movie's references to Reagan placing Tridents in Western Europe and thus provoking a confrontation with the Soviets is over their head.
