http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/resource/speeches/1983/33083a.htm Ironic, this was taken from a speech Ronald Reagan gave regarding the deployment of intermediate nuclear missiles in Europe. Something I know about, since I was on the US side of that game. I served three years with the 56th Field Artillery (A Pershing II, intermediate Nuclear Missle Unit, see the missle in the Smithsonian Air and Space in DC, standing beside a Soviet SS20.)
So it make sense doesn't it, especially when you put all the words in there:
President Ronald Reagan said:
When it comes to intermediate nuclear missiles in Europe, it would be better to have none than to have some. But if there must be some, it is better to have few than to have many. If the Soviets will not now agree to the total elimination of these weapons, I hope that they will at least join us in an interim agreement that would substantially reduce these forces to equal levels on both sides.
