Ronald Reagan actually said...

"It's in our own vital interest to help our Caribbean friends to protect themselves from hostile, foreign-inspired forces that would impose an alien ideology through the use of violence and terrorism."

"I believe that we all agree that first and foremost in any consideration of this issue is the fundamental need to protect the health and safety of all our citizens."

"I can't stress enough how strongly I feel the potential for good, for human betterment, and for our own national interest is tied to what we've called the Caribbean Initiative."

"Our aid will encourage private sector activities instead of displacing them."
