Ronald Reagan actually said...

"Meaningful arms control agreements between the United States and the Soviet Union would make our world less dangerous."

"That never slackened in any way or weakened the resolve of this country."

"I'm certain that the Russian people don't want a war, and I know our people don't."

"We're in a world today where not only are the civilians fair game, but the most potent weapons systems, the nuclear weapons, are definitely aimed at the destruction of civilians."
