I love this speech. That said, do not forget to put it in context. He was talking about the Evil Empire, not the Middle East. Reagan pulled our troops out of the Middle East after the bombing of the Marine Barracks in Beirut. He found no compelling American interest that was worth any more American lives. He won the Cold War by knowing when to hold em and when to fold em. BTW: that wonderful line about dying on your feet rather than living on your knees was Emeliano Zapata, a MX revolutionary. Not a big fan of the US.
