Re: Phil Polli's comments,

I can see your point on most everything you said, with the exception of
the remark about Carter having the guts to boycott the Olympics and
end grain shipments to Russia. These particular actions hurt the US much
more than the Russians and I don't think it showed much 'guts' to do so.
(Note: this does NOT mean I would have advocated any military action in
this case; I simply don't think those actions did anything to hurt the
Russians, and I would have preferred NO action to action that hurt us.)
Granted, I can think of nothing we could have done to hurt them without
hurting ourselves as well, but I'm open to suggestions.
