This from Andrew Sullivan:
All evidence indicates that the Reagan administration has abandoned both containment and détente for a very different objective: destroying the Soviet Union as a world power and possibly even its Communist system. [This is a] potentially fatal form of Sovietphobia … a pathological rather than a healthy response to the Soviet Union.
Princeton Professor Stephen Cohen, 1983
Update : Christopher Hitchens I was looking at a cruel and stupid lizard. Good antidote.
