>>The Russians knew better than we did that Star Wars was a Pipe Dream. So they were obsessed with nothing? That is news. All the intelligence gathered at the time and since can only lead one to the antipodean conclusion. As for the billions wasted on Russian corruption by Clinton, Gore and Talbott, what did you expect from that crowd?

to: Lisa from: truedog Lisa, I,m not so sure all that many Russians knew that "Star Wars" was impractical. Gorbachev, basically, was in power and he wanted to get away for communism anyway. I think he knew that it would never work, in the long run. I don't blame your son, at all, for not going into Russia. I thought it was Kruschev that made that statement but, maybe he ws quoting Lenin. At the rate we are going, that may become true. I am,sometimes, reminded of "The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire" and see too many similarities. In my heart, however, I believe that a higher power will take care of the situation as He sees fit. ^ ^ ^TD
