Ronald ReaganAmerica is a country which, with double - no triple - our troubles, we'd still be better off than any other people on earth.
The Cold War is a war that was a simple battle between freedom and oppression, a struggle between the United States' 'shining city on a hill' and the Soviet's 'evil empire'.
The Cold War was fundamentally a moral conflict. There was one side fighting for freedom and another for oppression. Reagan believed in winning the cold war, not just managing the conflict. Both of these notions freedom and victory were anathema to realist. Many thought reagan was dangerous and ignorant.
The Cold War is a war that was not merely a great-power competition over geopolitical spheres of influence, but rather a struggle for survival and 'a battle of values between one system that gave preeminence to the state and another that gave preeminence to the individual and freedom.

The National anthem is unique in that it ends with a question and a challenge: Does that flag still wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave' That is what we must all ask.
Nuclear war clearly threatens human existence, and yet it seems as though it would take a sudden threat from another planet to make us realize once and for all that we really are all human beings here on this earth together.
Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means.
