Who is our greatest enemy, John? 40 years ago that was an easy answer – the Soviet Union. In fact, 40 years ago, President Ronald Reagan delivered his famous "Evil Empire" speech. In the speech, he framed a CLEAR moral divide between the United States and the Soviet Union. While he acknowledged the importance of a strong military, President Reagan said, "The struggle now going on for the world will never be decided by bombs or rockets, by armies or military might. The real crisis we face today is a spiritual one; at root, it is a test of moral will and faith." |
