  Oh yes, you are correct.  I have been counting the days untill we turn
on CNN, or rather FOX and find that a civil war has begun once again and
that the commies have regained control.  In the Bible, John tells us
that what appears to be Russia, will attack Israel.  For this to happen,
Russia will have to return to its old ways of communism.  Of course, we
will hear the evening news commies tell us about the evils of capitalism
and how the west must become more enlightened.  
  Concerning the suitcase bombs, my information could have been wrong
concering their overall yeild.  I am looking for more current data on
them to verify whether their yeild will is 60-100 kilotons, or something
lower.
  Nuclear weapons are promote a more peaceful world, for without them,
Western Europe would now speak Russian.  Yet, here again, many on the
left want to institute world government to set the rules. 

  With Russia moving towards a communist state along with the fact that
China is still strongly communist, we have no reason to believe that we
live in a more secure world.  As we have seen before, communists are
willing lie to their mothers if it will promote the good of the state. 
We cannot disarm the West because we cannot trust the East.  This will
never change.  We must always be prepared.  M.A.D. is probably the only
way to stop communist aggression.  
In 1989 when the Berlin Wall came down, soviet communists did not
disappear.
