That's nonsense, Jeff.  The Soviet Union would never risk nuclear
war over something as minor as Libya.  It's just not worth it.

The corresponding question is, of course, would the U.S. risk nuclear
war over something as minor as Western Europe?  Why bother?

All this should be in net.politics, anyway - see you there!
