Reagan on Foreign Policy
“A strong, respected America is the surest way to preserve the peace and prevent conflict.”
January 8, 1983
“With your support, this administration has embarked on an effort to restore our nation's strength, credibility, and clarity of purpose in the world. Our aim has been to ensure that America has the will and the means to deter conflict and to defend the interests of freedom. We've done this for one reason and one reason only -- because a strong, respected America is the surest way to preserve the peace and prevent conflict.”
