I have a favor to ask...

Ok, I have been asked something that should be right up my allie..... and I cant remember the answer for the life of me.... I feel stupid about it to be honest lol. But anyways, Which U.S President proposed the Star Wars Missile Defense System? I want to say it was Ronald Reagan, but I cant remember... Thanks guys.

Only in the US would the government wonder about a Star Wars based defence system.

This sounds like something that Bush would say, but it is not religious enough.

Clinton, not scandelous and full of allegations.

Reagan. Probably, although I bet you Bush will dig this up and retry it...

largely... The Marshall Plan.

But, I suggest looking all of this up, just to be sure. You should be able to find it easily enough on Google

That link I posted above took about 30 seconds, just by typing "Star Wars+Reagan"

Well, I strongly recommend not relying on me too much this evening, I'm pretty groggy, since I hardly slept last night due to insomnia

It was the Marshal Plan. The World Bank is actually the IBRD - The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. What we call the world bank today was equal to 4 different banks after world war 2. If you want their names and stuff let me know.

No common market until the 1980s. And I have never heard of cominform - so can't answer that.
