Ronald Reagan: “Japan, Korea, and America are the nations of the future.”

We must and will dedicate ourselves as a Nation to continue this effort, and to stand in solidarity with those who resist, until the blessings of democracy, freedom, and respect for human dignity are assured throughout the world.

We must remain strong and free of illusion.

But there's nothing I can say that would make the situation right.

Tyranny fails. Freedom works.
