president reagan best described the importance of this broader american role when during the british parliament at the death of the cold war he said this. our military strength is a prerequisite for peace but let it be clear, we maintain this strength in the hope that it will never be used for the ultimate determinant in the struggle that now going on in the world will not be bombs or rockets but the test of wills and ideas. a trial of spiritual resolve and values and beliefs we cherish, the ideal to which we arededicated . by 1945 the united states contributed about half of the world entire economic entity. and in 1991 we emerged from the cold war as the world soul superpower. the soviet union was in a glorious freefall, shedding republics by the day. eastern europe was splitting into life andliberty for the first time in 40 years . free markets and free minds were sweeping the world . i visibly recall the fall of the berlin wall. i was in africa adjusting the transmission to democracy of the newly independent country of libya as it shrugged off the shackles of apartheid. a continent away, a d

but the speech he gave in british parliament was equally blunt and provocative toward russia. one of the things that regan denounced the soviet union for in that speech was them giving covert political training and assistance to marxist lennonist in the went ever after the ussr. and he announcesed a american counterpunch against soviet efforts to promote communism around the world. he announced american led international efforts to promote democracy, small d, democracy around the world. >> while we must be cautious about forcing the pace of change, we must not hesitate to declare our ultimate objectives and take concrete actions to move toward them. we must be staunch in conviction that freedom is not the sole prerogative of a lucky few but the inalienable and universal right of all human beings. so states the united nations universal declaration of human rights. which among other things guarantees free elections. the objective i propose is quite simple to state, to forest the infrastructure of democracy, the system of a free press, unions, political parties, universities, whi

a historic and controversial speech at the palace of westminster addressing the whole british parliament. it was interesting. when he was introduced he got this rapturous welcome, this long sustained ovation that seemed to startle even him a little bit. i'm not sure he expected quite that warm a welcome. as you might expect, part of that speech was reagan just waxing eloquent about the special relationship between us and the uk after they gave him such a warm ovation. >> each stop of this trip is important. but among them all this moment occupies a special place in my heart and in the hearts of my countrymen. a moment of kinship and homecoming in these hallowed halls. speaking for all americans, i want to say how very much at home we feel in your house. every american would because this is, as we have been so eloquently told, one of democracy's shrines. america's time as a player on the stage of world history has been brief. i think understanding this fact has always made you patient with your younger cousins. well, not always patient. i do recall that on one occasion sir winston churchi

summit after the one that is coming up and don't forget that the european parliament and the british parliament had to sign off on the plan, so three summit is not very much. and as alex said, europe have been asking for clarity on this. there are rebel mps on both sides of the house who want to vote for a norway—style relationship with the european union. norway is a member of two key european organisations: the european economic area or eea and the european free trade association also known as the efta. the eea is a collaboration of all the eu member states, plus norway, liechtenstein, and iceland. it gives norway full access to the european internal market for goods and services — but with a price. norway still pays into the eu budget, they still accept free movement of people and they are aligned to eu market rules, without much say in shaping them. efta is the group that includes just norway, iceland, liechtenstein, and switzerland. they trade among themselves — and the group as a whole has free trade deals with numerous non—eu countries. for britain, this norway model could go a long way
