Reagan on Foreign Policy, Democracy, and National Security

“Now, some in this country say, 'Freedom is fine for us, but we can't worry about it for everyone else.”

April 5, 1982

“Now, some in this country say, 'Freedom is fine for us, but we can't worry about it for everyone else. Let's not stick our necks out anywhere.' Have they forgotten that freedom was not won here without the help of others? Have they forgotten that people who turn their backs on friends often lose what they cherish most for themselves? Have they forgotten that freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction?”
