Ronald Reagan actually said...

"Our aim is not to increase the dangers to which regional states friendly to us are exposed, but to reduce them."

"Madison eloquently expressed the guarantees in the Bill of Rights, in particular in the freedoms of religion, speech, and of the press protected by the First Amendment."

"Surely the American experience has proved him right."

"Our stake in resolving regional conflicts can be simply stated: greater freedom for others means greater peace and security for ourselves."
