Talk:Evil empire

There have been those who have described the United States as an evil empire; this should be included, but after Reagan's (more prevalent, and original) usage. Also the Rage Against the Machine album should be noted. user:Daniel C. Boyer
"never retracted his description of the former Soviet Union as an "evil empire," despite repeated requests to do so"
- In CNN's Cold War series there is footage of Reagan in Moscow - a reporter asks if he would still describe the Soviet Union as the evil empire - and he refuses to do so. This could be attirbuted to politeness in the presence of his host, but maybe significant?Mark 22:53, 23 May 2004 (UTC)
