In response to tekecs!danc:

You make several assertions that require substantiation.

1) "The list of SALT treaty violations by the Soviets is endless"

	Really?  I have heard that a CIA report on Soviet SALT
	violations concluded that violations were about equal
	(and fairly minor) on both sides.

2)  "The number of people that have died at the hands of pro-west
    dictators is totally overshadowed by the millions of people 
    that have been killed by the Soviets or governments the 
    Soviets have installed or support."

	Can we see your figures on this?  By my calculations, based on
	the last ten years, it isn't quite so one-sided.


If you can show evidence that your claims are correct, please present
it.  If you can't, you should state them as opinions, not as facts.
