Many people would say that a good part of us was destroyed on 9/11, and that allowed to fester, many terrorist breeding grounds would chip away at our freedom.
It doesn't take thousands of nuclear bombs to threaten us.
I prefer having a President who has the same vision of democracy for the oppressed as Reagan did, to one who doesn't. This President is just taking it a step farther.
The 'fire of freedom' that the President referred to in his speech is exactly the 'fire of freedom' that Reagan knew existed in people's hearts behind the Iron Curtain when he said the words, ".....tear down this wall."
I prefer a President who realizes his job is to protect and defend the United States, as Reagan did, and not engage in global ideological crusades. And I am unwilling to see a single American boy come home in a body bag in any war not necessary to protect our vital interests.
