29. Warmongering?

He first tried to end an inherited war by "winning" it and opening a secret front in an adjacent country, same as Obama.

Then he opened the Paris Peace Talks, and negotiated a withdrawal. He got us out of Vietnam.

On the larger picture, he began arms talks with the Soviets which led to SALT I and SALT II, and he opened diplomatic relations with China.

He began the US role as a broker for peace in the Middle East.

He was a stronger advocate for diplomacy than Reagan or Bush II. Watergate was a foible compared to Iran-Contra.

Nixon would be unrecognizable as a Republican today.
