	Let us not confuse U.S. Foreign policy with our constitutional
rights in the United States.   The fact that we have freedom of speech
in our country and the USSR doesn't has *NOTHING* to do with our foreign
policy!!!  Our having freedom of speech doesn't give us the right to
fund Contras in Nicaragua who burn hospitals in an attempt to weaken
the popularly supported government.  So let's not bring this "The
US is morally right because of our constitution" crud into foreign
policy.  Our constitution says nothing about foriegn policy except
that the president decides what it is, and if our president makes bad
decisions it is our duty as citizens to make a *BIG* stink about it.
The "My country right or wrong" stuff belongs in Russia !!!
