Reagan Confronted Communism and Triumphed
Tuesday is the 20th anniversary of President Reagan's celebrated speech on communism, when he uttered those famous words, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall."
Richard Lowry, editor of the National Review, says Reagan defies easy categorization. Liberals think of him as "Mr. Sunshine," but his stand against communism was deeply felt.
Lowry argues that in popular imagination these days, we tend to forget the soul-crushing evil of communism that makes Tuesday's dedication of the Victims of Communism Memorial so important.
