Reagan on Foreign Policy, National Security, and Democracy

“Wherever there is oppression, we must strive for the peace and security of individuals as well as states.”

November 18, 1981

“And terms like 'peace' and 'security', we have to say, have little meaning for the oppressed and the destitute. They also mean little to the individual whose state has stripped him of human freedom and dignity. Wherever there is oppression, we must strive for the peace and security of individuals as well as states.”
