they yearned for freedom, the same freedom that americans enjoyed themselves and supported in western europe. people also looked west because they knew what this unwavering american support meant. friend and foe knew that the united states stood with its allies, come what may. no one in europe had the faintest thought that the united states would counter any challenge to the west's alliance, its security, its value-based way of life and market economy. we understood this and relied on it. but perhaps even more importantly, the soviet union understood this. it defined how far it would go in challenging the western status quo. there is, i think, no country that benefited more from it than germany, west and east. after all, it was the united states that saved the people of berlin during the soviet blockade. it was the united states that supported germany's recovery through the marshall plan, laying the groundwork for the postwar economic miracles. it was the united states that enabled the young republic to become a member of nato and the western alliance. and it was president ronald reagan call
