What does that make him? As for your point about helping people with bombs pointed toward you. Well, I'm from Ireland, and you can bet the farm that Shannon Airport (the most westerly airfield in Europe) is an American target. I'm currently under contract to a defense company. Does that make a difference? I think not. Overall, I think your stance reeks of McCarthyism. The only way to improve relations with 'your adversaries', is by better communication, and under- standing. Unless, of course, you'd like to keep your notions of the SU as the great oppressor. Good versus Evil, etc. The ony way to make this planet a better place, is by trying to remove the hatred and fear between different groups. That can only be done by realizing that the opposite group is made up of people like ourselves, and by seeing things from the other persons point of view. As a further point of discussion, I think we should amend the discussion as to whether or not to swap news with the USSR, but whether or not to swap "ussr.all" with the USSR. That way, people posting to those groups know where it is going, and people worried about 'sensitive data' can keep it away from ussr.sources.
