Former Secretary of State James Baker said on Sunday that the late President Ronald Reagan had expressed regret over his veto of sanctions on South Africa's government during apartheid.

"I'm sure he did regret it, Bob, in fact, I'm certain that he did," Baker told host Bob Schieffer on CBS's "Face the Nation". "It was after all, I think, the only time a veto of his had been overridden in two terms. And so, certainly, he regretted it."

After Congress overrode the veto, Baker said Reagan made an effort to reach out to South Africa's anti-apartheid leaders.

"Had it not been for Nelson Mandela, and by the way, F.W. de Klerk, there have been blood flowing through the streets when apartheid ended in South Africa," Baker said.

He vetoed it.

Reagan took his case directly to the people on a live TV broadcast. He echoed Crocker in urging Americans to be patient with South Africa's apartheid government. Reagan argued that sanctions would disproportionately hurt black South Africans without significantly undermining apartheid, and blamed black extremists for contributing to the violence. Change, if it were to come at all, would happen incrementally. He believed he had sold his case effectively, and considered the matter closed.

Reagan issued a tersely worded response:

"I deeply regret that Congress has seen fit to override my veto of the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986. Punitive sanctions, I believe, are not the best course of action; they hurt the very people they are intended to help ... [T]his will not solve the serious problems that plague that country."

No, Jimmy. Ronnie Rayguns only regretted that Congress had blemished his disgusting record.
