Ronald Reagan: “We didn't make any pact or anything that was different than what has been our relationship all along.”

Naturally, I heartily approve.

We must remain strong and free of illusion.

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.

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