There was a time when we had better leaders in the US and the Soviet Union.

An important meeting was in this house in Reykjavík, Iceland in 1986 between Reagan and Gorbatsjev. This was maybe the beginning of the end of the cold war and also the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union.

I think of that meeting every time I drive past this house on the way to work in Iceland.
