"Some in the West during the early 1980s believed communism and democracy were equally valid and viable. This was the school of "moral equivalence." In contrast Ronald Reagan saw Soviet communism as a menace to be confronted in the genuine belief that its squalid underpinning would fall swiftly to the gathering winds of freedom. Provided, as he said, that NATO and the industrialized democracies stood firm and united. They did. And we know now who was right."

I think Mulroney gave a great eulogy.

He was great. It was obvious that they had a great relationship.

Thank you for posting this. I thought his speech was beautiful, and convicting. The present PM isn't fit to tie Mulroney's shoes.

This was the school of "moral equivalence."

That was the school Bill Clinton came from.

HEY BILL,WAKE UP! HE WAS TALKING TO YOU!

Thank you for finding this and posting it. His eulogy was wonderful ... straight from the heart, delivered beautifully, and quite significant in its criticism of those who refuse to see the difference between good and evil.

This was one of the best speeches of the whole thing IMO. Thatcher was great as well. Poor GHWBush was having a hard time trying not to cry (bless his heart) and W did a pretty good job.
