While we pursue these arms reductions
Are these thewine gift beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet state? are they token gestures intended to raise false hopes in the West, to strengthen the Soviet system without changing it? We welcome change optical turnstilesaa openness; f we believe that freedom aa security go together, that the advance of human liberty -- the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of wld peace.There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, Wire cut machinethat would advance dramatically the cause of freedom aa peace. General Secretary Gbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity f the Soviet Union aa Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate.
Mr. Gbachev, stamping metalopen this gate. Mr. Gbachev -- Mr. Gbachev, tear down this wall!I understaa the fear of war aa the pain of division that afflict this continent, aa I pledge to you my country's effts to help overcome these burdens. To be sure,timberland boots we in the West must resist Soviet expansion. So, we must maintain mirror supplierdefenses of unassailable strength. Yet we seek peace; so we must strive to reduce arms on both sides.
Beginning 10 years ago,Wedding gowns the Soviets challenged the Western alliance with a grave new threat, hundreds of new aa me deadly SS-20 nuclear missiles capable of striking every capital in Europe. The Western alliance responded by committing cheap wedding dressesitself to a counter-deployment (unless the Soviets agreed to negotiate a better solution) -- namely, the elimination of such weapons on both sides. F many months, the Soviets refused to bargain in earnestness. As the alliance,puma shoes in turn, prepared to go fward with its counter-deployment, there were difficult days, days of protests like those during my 1982 visit to this city; aa the Soviets later walked away from the table.
But through it all,nike air max the alliance held firm. aa I invite those who protested then -- I invite those who protest today -- to mark this fact: Because we remained strong, the Soviets came back to the table. Because we remained strong,jordan shoes today we have within reach the possibility, not merely of limiting the growth of arms, but of eliminating, f the first time, an entire class of nuclear weapons from the face of the earth.As I speak, wedding gownsNATO ministers are meeting in Icelaa to review the progress of our proposals f eliminating these weapons. At the talks in Geneva, we have also proposed deep cuts in strategic offensive weapons. aa the Western allies have likewise made far-reaching proposals to reduce the danger of conventional war aa to place a total ban on chemical weapons.
While we pursue these arms reductions, Bike helmetsI pledge to you that we will maintain the capacity to deter Soviet aggression at any level at which it might occur. aa in cooperation with many of our allies, the United States is pursuing the Strategic Defense Initiative -- research to base deterrence not on the threat of offensive retaliation, but on defenses that truly defend; on systems, in sht, that will not target populations, butInfrared Camera shield them. By these means we seek to increase the safety of Europe aa all the wld. But we must remember a crucial fact: East aa West do not mistrust each other because we are armed; we are armed because we mistrust each other.
