Ronald Reagan actually said...

"A strong NATO is no threat to the Soviet Union."

"Progress will depend on other responsible leaders, in both parts of Ireland and in Great Britain, following your example."

"Our policy is aimed at deterring aggression and helping our allies and friends to protect themselves, while, at the same time, doing everything we can to reduce the risks of war."

"It is this freedom to disagree, to question, to state one's case even when in opposition to those in authority that is the cornerstone of liberty and human progress."
