Did you, or did you not, just list several contributing reasons that
the former USSR would have fallen all on its own,

No, I said they're all contributing factor and it is impossible to
determine which if any or even all of them could be removed
without altering the outcome.

A simple question: if reagan had not been President, but Carter or
Mondale or Dukakis had, do you believe the USSR would still be in
existance?

at least through the end of their terms, and little bit longer,
if you mean in 2006, the answer is so speculative because
of so many other events that happened, did not happen,
would have happened but didn't, did happen but would not have.
