Another "Allan England says":
How about the deployment of missiles in Europe??  You don't think that
was being tough on the Russians??  Then why are they so unhappy over
this development and trying every thing they can think of short of
war to thwart this deployment??

How do you figure putting Pershings and Cruise missiles in Europe
is being tough on the Russians? It may be tough on the West Europeans,
but the Russians??? All it accomplishes is that WE now have to rely
on the Russians having computers good enough to be sure never to
initiate any false-alarms that can't be found in 6 minutes. Are OUR
military computers that good? If you think their computers are so much
better than ours, then why was the US Administration so concerned about
letting them see a VAX-11/782 last week?

Of course the Russians are worried about the missiles in Europe. So
should any rational person be. They are DANGEROUS. To the Europeans,
firstly, and to us a few minutes later.
