In general, the more communication going on about world problems the better. Ninety percent is hot air, but the rest may actually do some good, and is unlikely to do any harm. I even think the Warsaw Pact is a good thing, since the other advantage of shared-interest groups is that moderation tends to prevail. It is a lot easier to commit your own nation to war than it is to commit a whole big buncha nations to a war, even when the other nations are fairly puppetish satellite states. -- - Ken Scott [decvax,inhn4]!utzoo!hcr!ken "You say I contradict myself?
