“Cannot swords be turned to plowshares? Can we and all nations not live in peace? In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity,” Reagan said.
“Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond,” Reagan proposed.
“I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? What could be more alien to the universal aspirations of our peoples than war and the threat of war?”
I was confused as to which side of the fence, this man fell on, but with the viewing of the silhouettes of the great fighters in this war(sitting in the movie theater), and it included Reagan, I knew he was on the side of good. I have heard some of the greatest speeches ever spoken from this man’s mouth. So great to know he was one of the good guys. We all will forever be in their debt. God Bless
Yes, Reagan took a bullet for America
