This speech from President Reagan has ALWAYS haunted me. It now makes perfect sense. Reagan KNEW what the canals plans were. Read this carefully and insert the word “Illegal” before the word “Alien”.
"In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? What could be more alien to the universal aspirations of our peoples than war and the threat of war?"
