Showed his big bad self by invading a small island off South America
Secondly, people don't understand what Grenada was about. It wasn't about Grenada. It was about sending a statement to the world about what we would/would not accept. I'll take that over the erasable red-line statements we make today...

A Soviet-backed socialist Dictator building a military style runway capable of landing Russian bombers in our backyard was reason enough. Shut the Russians the hell up.
Beirut was a terrible blow. We were there to keep the peace, Iran slaughtered our Marines, and weretreated. There was bad in leaving abruptly and good with leaving abruptly. Every liberal in America at the time, by the way, backed the mission-screaming for it after the Shatila and Sabra massacres. That is conveniently forgotten by all the usual suspects. Lebanon requested the UN and 4 Nato countries obliged. And until the bombing occurred they did a damn good job of preventing The Israelis and various Lebanese factions from slaughtering each other.
