(Their stated intention.) Uh huh. Could you possibly cite something where the Russians have made these "intentions" clear in some recent statement? I thought that sort rhetoric went out in the 1960's. I suppose that you could argue that those communist fiends are thinking this all the time but won't be silly enough to say it. I don't think thats a terribly convincing view. There is a big gap between Leninist/Marxist theory and practice in the USSR, and I believe they know that very well. Could you bring yourself to believe that they might have changed in the last twenty years? I'm afraid that citing what "many people believe" doesn't do your argument much good... -- "In challenging a kzin, a simple scream of rage is sufficient. You scream and you leap." Michael Hamel.
