/***** uokvax:net.politics / sdcrdcf!alan / 2:52 pm Nov 28, 1984 */ First of all, both Wayne and you are making a mistake by putting the responsibility for the "weapons in Western Europe" on the leaders. As Wayne stated, they're elected. It is the wisdom (insert your own quote marks as you see fit) of the *people*. In last year's elections, the anti-defense groups made the election a mandate on the Pershing missle issue. The people elected leaders who would act to install them. /* ---------- */ I might add to alan's comment that it doesn't matter what Harris, Time, Newsweek, or any other poll says. Elections count. kurt
