Martin Taylor from Canada writes, one imagines rather indignantly,

	If you really feel that the USA is the only place
	in the world that does not wish to be run from the
	Kremlin, I suggest you wrap your heap in the Stars
	and Stripes and take a long walk on a short pier.

I am quite sure most people in ALL countries would rather not be "run
from the Kremlin"--even Canadians.  The point I make is this: That the
U.S. is the only effective power opposing the Kremlin.  I will not be
looking to Canada to protect me from the CCCP, and I recommend
Mr. Taylor does not either.

He continues,

	As for joining the Republican party, I have known lots of
	Republicans who were not foaming-at-the-mouth chauvinists.

Glad to hear it.  But the Democrats who are should be consoled that
if they adopted what is today considered a "Republican foreign policy",
they would not be unfaithful to their other beliefs.  Scoop Jackson
saw this, as did J.F.K.  An ideological opposition to the USSR, backed up
with the threat of massive violence, is essential in maintaining our
liberty (your'e still in on that aren't you Martin?) and perhaps, if we
are lucky, in restoring it to those who once had it--or perhaps would
like to try it (I suspect we part company there; let 'em swim over
if they want to try it, eh?).
