यह केवल शिक्षा और अतीत की समझ ही है जो हमें इतिहास को न दोहराना सिखाती है।
It is only education and understanding of the past that teaches us not to repeat history.

रेगन को हमारे सामने कभी भी टैक्स न बढ़ाने वाले मिसाल के तौर पर पेश किया जाता है। सुधार कर लें: रेगन ने राष्ट्रपति के रूप में अपने आठ सालों में से छह बार टैक्स बढ़ाए थे। क्यों? क्योंकि वे एक व्यावहारिक (प्रैग्मैटिस्ट) व्यक्ति थे, कोई कट्टरपंथी सिद्धांतवादी नहीं। उन्होंने आने वाली समस्याओं को भांप लिया था और जब उनकी नीतियाँ लड़खड़ाईं, तो उन्होंने अपने विचार बदल दिए। वे ज़िद्दी नहीं, बल्कि लचीले थे।
Reagan is held up to us as an example of never raising taxes. Correction: Reagan raised taxes six of his eight years as president. Why? He was a pragmatist, not doctrinaire. He saw problems emerging, and when his policies faltered he changed his views. Flexibility, not rigidity.

लोकतंत्र का पूरा विचार यही है कि हम खुद, यानी आम जनता को अपनी राजनीति की दिशा तय करनी चाहिए, और यह हम ही हैं जो अपने कदमों, अपने वोटों, अपनी मेहनत और अपनी सतर्कता से अपने देश का भविष्य गढ़ेंगे।
The whole idea of a democracy is that we ourselves, the people, are supposed to make a path of our politics, and it is we who with our feet and our vote and our labors and our vigilance are supposed to shape our country.

अगर हम 70 के दशक की शुरुआत वाली जेल की सजा की दर पर वापस लौट जाएँ, तो प्रिज़न इंडस्ट्री (जेल उद्योग) में काम करने वाले लगभग पाँच में से चार लोगों की नौकरियाँ चली जाएंगी। यही वह बड़ी दीवार है जिसके सामने आप खड़े हैं।
If we went back to the imprisonment rate we had in the early '70s, something like four out of five people employed in the prison industry would lose their jobs. That's what you're up against.

यह कहना कि रेगन हमें यह सिखाते हैं कि हमें अवैध प्रवासियों की एमनेस्टी (माफी) के खिलाफ होना चाहिए, खुद रेगन की उस सोच के खिलाफ जाता है जिसके वे समर्थक थे—यानी वे एमनेस्टी के पक्ष में थे।
To say that Reagan teaches us that we should be against amnesty for illegal immigrants is to contradict what Reagan himself stood for - that he was in favor of amnesty.

हम यहूदी शरणार्थियों और हॉलोकॉस्ट (महाविनाश) के वंश से आते हैं, जिसका मतलब है कि हमारे पूर्वज भागने को मजबूर हुए थे और हमने यह सीखा है कि सत्ता प्रणालियाँ आसानी से भ्रष्टाचार का शिकार हो जाती हैं और बेसहारा लोगों के साथ बेहद क्रूर व विनाशकारी सलूक कर सकती हैं।
We come out of Jewish-refugee, Holocaust stock, which means that our predecessors fled and we learned that systems of power are vulnerable to corruption and can treat the defenseless in a destructive fashion.

रेगन से मिलने वाला सबसे बड़ा सबक यह है कि यह सोचना कि वे महज़ एक साधारण कठपुतली थे, खुद कोई सोच-विचार नहीं करते थे और बस सामने रखी स्क्रिप्ट पढ़ लेते थे—उनका बहुत बड़ा कम आँकना होगा। रोनाल्ड रेगन एक बेहद बुद्धिमान इंसान थे जिनके भीतर ज़बरदस्त क्षमता (दमदार इंजन) थी।
The big lesson of Reagan is: To think that he was some sort of simple figurehead and didn't do the thinking and simply read a script in front of him woefully underestimates him. Ronald Reagan was an extremely intelligent person with a real V8 engine under his hood.

रोनाल्ड रीगन से मेरी कुछ असहमतियां हैं, लेकिन जिस तरह की राजनीतिक नौटंकी सारा पालीन जैसे लोग करते हैं, जो असल में जनसेवक नहीं हैं, रीगन उस स्तर से कोसों दूर हैं।
I have criticisms of Ronald Reagan, but he lives in another universe from the kind of political theater that is represented by people, like Sarah Palin, who aren't really public servants.

रोनाल्ड रीगन, भले ही उनकी अपनी खूबियां और खामियां रही हों, आखिरकार एक सच्चे जनसेवक थे।
Ronald Reagan, whatever his pros and cons were, was a public servant in the end.

यह बात आम थी कि टी पार्टी आंदोलन के लोगों की राजनीति रोनाल्ड रीगन की सोच से बिल्कुल मेल नहीं खाती थी, और रीगन उन्हें बचकानी और नासमझ हरकत मानते।
It was widespread that the politics of Tea Party people would be foreign to Ronald Reagan and they would be seen by him as frivolous and uninformed.

जो हो रहा था, वह ड्रग्स के खिलाफ युद्ध था। जहाँ तक मैं देख सकता हूँ, यही वह मुख्य वजह थी जो अश्वेतों की तरक्की के रास्ते में आ रही थी।
What was happening was the war on drugs. That was the primary culprit I could see that was getting in the way of black progress.

फ्रैंक काप्रा ने द्वितीय विश्व युद्ध के दौरान 'व्हाई वी फाइट' नाम से फिल्मों की एक श्रृंखला बनाई थी, जिसमें यह टटोला गया था कि अमेरिका युद्ध में क्यों उतरा था। आज, जब हमारे सैनिक इराक और अन्य जगहों पर ऐसे कारणों से उलझे हुए हैं जो बहुत स्पष्ट नहीं हैं, तो मुझे लगता है कि यह पूछना बेहद जरूरी है: 'हम जो कर रहे हैं, वह क्यों कर रहे हैं? इसका दूसरों पर क्या असर हो रहा है? और इसका हम पर क्या असर हो रहा है?'
Frank Capra made a series of films during World War II called 'Why We Fight' that explored America's reasons for entering the war. Today, with our troops engaged in Iraq and elsewhere for reasons far less clear, I think it's crucial to ask the questions: 'Why are we doing what we are doing? What is it doing to others? And what is it doing to us?'

आप रोनाल्ड रीगन का जिक्र किए बिना राजनीति पर कोई चर्चा कर ही नहीं सकते।
You can't have a discussion about politics without mentioning Ronald Reagan.

ज्यादातर अमेरिकियों की तरह, मैं भी रीगन की विरासत को लेकर मचे घमासान के दायरे में जी रहा हूँ। यह लड़ाई उन अतिवादी और तीखी आवाज़ों के बीच है जो एक तरफ तो उन्हें हर उस चीज़ का प्रतीक मानती हैं जो महान और अच्छी है, और दूसरी तरफ उन्हें इस देश में हुई हर बुराई का जिम्मेदार मानती हैं। और ज़ाहिर है कि इनमें से कोई भी बात पूरी तरह सच नहीं है। वह सिर्फ एक इंसान थे।
Like most Americans, I live in the line of fire of a shooting match that is going on over Reagan's legacy. It's between shrill and extremist voices who alternately conceive of him either as an icon of all that's great and good or a representative of everything that's gone wrong with this country. And obviously neither is the case. He is just a man.

मेरा मतलब है, सत्तर के दशक की शुरुआत में बड़े हो रहे कई बच्चों की तरह, मुझे भी फ्रूट लूप्स के साथ-साथ डॉ. किसिंजर की खुराक मिलती रही। वह अमेरिकी विदेश नीति के डॉ. रूथ और एक आदर्श राजनेता की तरह थे।
I mean, like a lot of kids growing up in the early seventies, I was fed Dr. Kissinger with my Fruit Loops. He was the Dr. Ruth of American foreign policy, and the model statesman.

अगर आप शाम का न्यूज़ देखें, तो डॉ. किसिंजर को अक्सर अपने दौर के एक बड़े राजनेता के रूप में पेश किया जाता है जो दुनिया भर की घटनाओं पर निष्पक्ष रूप से अपनी राय रखते हैं। इसलिए, उनकी विरासत पर सवाल उठाने वाली और उनके खिलाफ लगे गंभीर आरोपों का आकलन करने वाली किसी फिल्म को मीडिया के लिए दिखाना एक संवेदनशील मामला बन जाता है।
If you watch the evening news, Dr. Kissinger is very often brought on to sort of be the statesman of his age and to reflect dispassionately on world events. And so a film challenging his legacy, a film that assesses charges that are quite grave against him, is something that is touchy for the media to show.

रीगन खुद अपनी जिंदगी के ज्यादातर समय अभिजात वर्ग के खिलाफ रहे। सोवियत संघ के प्रति उनका विरोध, दरअसल अभिजात वर्ग द्वारा आम जनता के उत्पीड़न के खिलाफ उनका विरोध था।
Reagan himself, for much of his life, was devoted against the elites. His antagonism to the Soviet Union is antagonism against oppression by the elites of the many.

अमेरिका में अश्वेत लोगों की गरिमा की लड़ाई को यहूदियों की संघर्ष गाथा का ही एक रूप मानना बिल्कुल स्वाभाविक था। इसलिए बड़े होते हुए, यह सोचना हमेशा से मेरी दिनचर्या का हिस्सा रहा कि मैं भी किसी बड़े संघर्ष का एक हिस्सा हूँ।
It was natural to see the struggle for dignity for black people in America as a sister struggle of the Jewish struggle. So growing up, it was always a part of my breakfast cereal to think of myself as someone who was part of a larger struggle.

रोनाल्ड रीगन में कई बेहतरीन खूबियां थीं तो कुछ कमियां भी थीं। वह उतने सीधे-साधे और घरेलू किस्म के इंसान नहीं थे, जैसा अक्सर उन्हें दिखाया जाता है।
Ronald Reagan had many fine qualities and he had many shortcomings. He's not the simple, folksy figure that he's often portrayed as.

जब मैं बड़ा हो रहा था, तो आप जानते ही हैं कि मैं एक श्वेत यहूदी अमेरिकी हूँ जिसका जन्म ऐसे माता-पिता के यहाँ हुआ जो होलोकॉस्ट से बचे थे। मेरे पिता 1939 में नाजी जर्मनी से भागकर आए थे और मेरी माँ का परिवार उससे पहले रूस के जारों के अत्याचार से भाग चुका था।
As I was growing up, you know, I'm a white Jewish American born to Holocaust parents. My father fled Nazi Germany in 1939 and my mother's family had fled the czars of Russia before that.

रॉन रीगन हैरान करने वाले रूप से एक निष्पक्ष व्यक्ति साबित होते हैं। मैंने उनसे पूछा कि क्या वह अपनी माँ के ज्यादा लाडले थे, तो उन्होंने कहा कि नहीं, वह पिता के ज्यादा करीब थे। साथ ही, उन्होंने यह मानने में भी संकोच नहीं किया कि उनके पिता में कई कमियां थीं और उन्हें अपने कामों के लिए जवाबदेह ठहराया जाना चाहिए था।
Ron Reagan amazingly qualifies as an honest broker. I asked him if he was a mamas boy and he said no, more of a papas boy. At the same time he was willing to say that his father had many shortcomings and needed to be held accountable.

रीगन हमें बहुत सी अहम बातें सिखाते हैं—कुछ सकारात्मक सबक और कुछ काफी नकारात्मक सबक।
Reagan has very significant things to teach us - positive lessons and quite negative lessons.

अभिजात वर्ग के लोग एक बार फिर रीगन का नाम ले रहे हैं, अपनी आवाज में ठेठ देहाती अंदाज़ ला रहे हैं और ऐसी बातें कर रहे हैं जिससे आम लोगों का दिल जीता जा सके। और यह सब एक ढकोसला है; यह सब बनावटी नाटक है। और लोग इस देश के कुलीन वर्ग के उस ढोंग के झांसे में आ रहे हैं जिसे वे गरीबों और मेहनतकशों का व्यवहार बताकर परोसते हैं।
Elites are once again invoking Reagan, dropping their Gs and saying things in a folksy sort of way thats meant to capture the hearts of people. And its all fraud; its all stagecraft. And people are falling for a great deal of elite behavior in this country packaged as if its proletariat behavior.

There are people who are trying to advance themselves by wrapping themselves in Reagan.

मुझे नहीं लगता कि रीगन मुख्य रूप से कोई मजाकिया इंसान थे, और न ही मुझे लगता है कि वह कोई करिश्माई व्यक्ति थे; वह एक जटिल शख्सियत थे।
I don't think Reagan is primarily funny, and I don't think he's primarily marvelous; he's complicated.
