Reagan on Foreign Policy, Democracy, and America

“The United States has no higher mission than to build a lasting peace that enshrines liberty, democracy, and dignity for individuals everywhere.”

January 26, 1984

“We are a people who seek peace within us, within our communities, and around the world. The United States has no higher mission than to build a lasting peace that enshrines liberty, democracy, and dignity for individuals everywhere. And I believe that what we've accomplished together -- restoration of economic and military strength and a growing spirit of unity at home and with our allies abroad -- put America in its strongest position in years to seize the opportunities for peace.”
