Keith Olbermann is your God....

The E. Germans. Reunification would not have happened if he blinked at Reykjavik.

No kidding? And here I thought all this time that the Reykjavik summit was about arms control and bickering about about INFs, ICBMs and the SDI.
You're right though, Reagan didn't blink, but his handlers sent him off to go take his nap when they noticed that Gorbachev was out-negotiating him. They were afraid he'd bargain away their SDI pipe-dream and reveal it as mostly a bluff.

Reagan did attempt the traditional posturing about human rights and the emigration of Soviet Jews to Israel, mostly for home consumption, and Gorbachev, just as traditional in that respect, refused to go there. East and Central European rebellion against Soviet domination and German unification, as far as I know, was never discussed.
