Ronald Reagan, a couple decades ago, faced worldwide opposition to deployment of Pershing nuclear missiles in Europe to counter Soviet SS-20's. He understood that if you turn your back on a threat, the threat only increases, but if you face up to it, you stand to decrease the danger. If Reagan had caved in to the demonstrator's pressure, would millions of eastern European people be free today? Would the world be safer? |
