“…changing America’ s foreign policy is a little like towing an iceberg. You can only pick up speed as the frozen attitudes and mistakes of the past melt away."

On November 6, 2009, The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and The Heritage Foundation co-hosted a day-long conference commemorating the fall of the Berlin Wall. The panelists discussed Ronald Reagan's role in the collapse of communism and what his approach still offers us today. The line-up included his Secretary of State George Shultz, his U.S. Attorney General Ed Meese, his National Security Advisory Richard Allen, current President of the Czech Republic Vaclav Klaus, current State Minister for Reintegration, Government of Georgia Temuri Yakobashvili, Margaret Thatcher's foreign policy advisory Lord Charles Powell and many others.
