Out of curiosity, do you think the US was wrong to state that an attack on
Europe would be treated as an attack on the US and that we reserved the
right to use nuclear weapons to defend Europe? I'm not a strong advocate of
the military, and I opposed the war in 'Nam but I never opposed defending
Europe.
