===============
There were three good reasons to invade Grenada.  Each of them are
sufficient: (1) At the request of concerned neighbors, (2) To protect
the lives of Americans, (3) To discourage Communism there and elsewhere.
.........
The third reason, of course, is the most persuasive to those who have
an intuitive grasp of "freedom".  Freedom in the sense that many of
those under the domination of the Central Committee of the Communist
Party hanker for.

A General Comment To The Critics:

To those who, in the open-minded manner, arrive at conclusions surprising
similar to the conventional wisdom at the Kremlin, I ask:  To what extent,
would you estimate, does your publicized hatred of the USA assist in the
goals and aspirations of all members of the CCCP?  ....[more frothing]....

=================

Is Margaret Thatcher a tool of the Kremlin? Do her pronouncements
usually sound like Pravda? I don't remember her exact words, but the
essence was: If you think that you can walk in anywhere an unpopular
Communist-sympathizing government exists and remove it, you'd better
expect to be in a big war soon.

In case rlgvax!plunkett has never heard of Margaret Thatcher (since
she does live more than a couple of hundred miles away from rlgvax)
she is probably the most conservative and militarily minded leader
in the democratically elected Western countries today. But unlike
some of similar description, she is clever. By no means could she be
accused of having a "hatred of the USA."

Incidentally, CCCP is the Cyrillic (Russian letters to you, plunkett)
script form of SSSR, which means the Soviet Socialist Republic of Russia
(part of the USSR, which is the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics).
It does not mean Central Committee of the Communist Party, who do,
indeed run the show. Know your enemy, plunkett; don't invent new ones.
It might be a good idea to get to know your friends, too.
