I think you made a mistake, Iwanh. Reagan died on June 5, 2004, not in 2005. He was also 93 (born in 1911) and not 96 at the time of his death.There was a brief lull in the political attacks when on June 5th, 2005, former president Ronald Reagan passed away in his home in California, at the age of 96. All campaigning was temporarily paused out of respect for the ‘Gipper’ and a state funeral was held that would include the largest number of foreign dignitaries since John F Kennedys funeral in 1963. President Bush marked the death in a press conference praising Reagan for “ laying to rest an era of division and self-doubt” and thanking him in grandiose terms for restoring the nation and helping to save the world. “He always told us that for America, the best was yet to come. We comfort ourselves in the knowledge that this is true for him, too. His work is done, and now a shining city awaits him. May God bless Ronald Reagan.”. Members of Congress were also invited including the Democratic nominee Senator John Edwards, his campaign released a short statement that was far less complimentary of Reagan’s record, rather noting his strong personality and commitment to his wife Nancy “Regardless of policy, he was the voice of America and it is always sad when one of the great Americans who could provide comfort to the world passes”

Funeral for Ronald Wilson Reagan, 40th President of the United States
Thank you for the correction, i do not know how I missed that.I think you made a mistake, Iwanh. Reagan died on June 5, 2004, not in 2005. He was also 93 (born in 1911) and not 96 at the time of his death.
Apart from that, nice update.![]()
If Bush is a one-term President here I can only imagine the jokes he'd get due to his comparison to his father.
This may happenI wonder if he'll ever get called the nickname "Blowmonkey" on the account of all of Columbia's finest illegal export he was supposed have snorted back in the 70s? Apparently before he got religion when he was 40 he was quite the boozing, coke-snorting party-animal.
I'd be really curious to read an ATL sometime where Dubya stays a cokefiend party-animal and is the black sheep of the family, Billy Carter or Roger Clinton-style, who humiliates the family repeatedly as Jeb! tries to rise to powerI wonder if he'll ever get called the nickname "Blowmonkey" on the account of all of Columbia's finest illegal export he was supposed have snorted back in the 70s?

but they were very hostile towards the Circassians
RightIt's not just the Russians the Circassians also have a bad rep with the Kurds too. After the Russian Empire crushed the Circassians in the late 19th century the survivors fled to the Ottoman Empire but wherever the Ottomans tried to resettle them they ALWAYS caused problems with the local christians and/or muslims and in the 1877 Russo-Turkish war (Which ended badly for the Ottomans) a large number of the Bashi-Bazouk irregulars (Savage fighters notorious for the atrocities they committed) involved were Circassian (The other large group were Albanians).

I guess the end of "the end of history" was pushed back by just under three years with Russia expirincing a 9/11-like terrorist attack.Wait, a plane with a bunch of islamic terrorists just hit the Foreign Ministry headquarters of one of the world's biggest army and nuclear superpower. Thats BIG in a world without 9/11, probably ending the "end of history" and maybe helping Bush to reelect with his hawkish foreign policy

I don't believe in thatI guess the end of "the end of history" was pushed back by just under three years with Russia expirincing a 9/11-like terrorist attack.
Without 9/11 happening, the 1990s feelings will end and the 2000s feelings will begin both society and culturally in 2004.
All will be revealed
