Reagan Recognized the Power of Rhetoric
As VodkaPundit mentions with an anecdote he includes on his blog (which you should click over and read), the speech of Mr. Reagan's in which he called the Soviet Union an "Evil Empire" was a very powerful moment in history.
Words are often more powerful than weapons, as many have said, and the policies of Mr. Reagan are a prime example of what a strong, wise leader may do with words alone. While wars are sometimes necessary, sometimes strong words backed with weapons may be enough.
