In June of 1982, President Ronald Reagan spoke at Westminster Palace and declared, the turning point had arrived in history. He argued that Soviet communism had failed, precisely because it did not respect its own people -- their creativity, their genius and their rights.

President Reagan said that the day of Soviet tyranny was passing, that freedom had a momentum which would not be halted.

This was a powerful speech

I watched him deliever this speech today and it was awe inspiring to say the least. It reminded me of watching President Reagan when he made his now famous "Tear down this wall" speech.

Thanks for starting this thread Ragtime Cowgirl.

Great speech!

Heard part of this before work...Very interesting, provocative speech. But I do wish he would give speeches like this in the evening so he would have a wider viewing audience. It isn't a "sound byte" kind of speech.

Certainly a major speech and well delivered! The Democrats now have a problem!

I saw the speech and it's great to have a transcript. Thanks for posting, RC!
