Cold War victory provided the answer for each. “America’s resolve and American ideals so clearly articulated by Ronald Reagan,” Clinton said, “helped to bring the Wall down.” The lesson was clear: “we achieve our aims by defending our values and leading the forces of freedom.”
冷战的胜利对于两者都给出了答案。克林顿指出：“由罗纳德·里根所清晰阐明的美国之决心与美国之理念，为推倒柏林墙提供了一臂之力。”而其中蕴含的经验也很清楚：“我们通过保卫自己的价值并引导自由的力量，使得我们的目标终获实现。”
