The "arch-conservatives", who have been trying to convince everyone of the true nature of the Soviet government, were shown to be correct beyond any shadow of a doubt (US intelligence gathering in that area is rather impressive). This must come as a real blow to all those out there who believe that the Soviets are really a peace loving group, and that the US is responsible for the tensions that exist. They are truly a ruthless bunch, where the lives of 269 people is of no concern to them, especially when one considers the millions who have also died at their hands. The ultimate criteria for any action they do is whether it furthers their goal of bringing down the West (confirmed by almost everyone who has defected from government positions in the Eastern block, most notably the former Polish ambassador to Japan, Zdzislaw Rurarz). One can only hope that those 269 people will not have died totally in vain, in that people will wake up and become aware of the true nature of the Soviet government.
