There is surely no more poignant example of the universal human need for personal and political liberty than those living under Soviet tyranny that struggle daily to be free. Sadly. as we remember those captives who have long suffered Soviet exploitation. we cannot forget more recent victims of Soviet domination. Thousands of Soviet troops continue to occupy Afghanistan. The invasion caused a mass exodus of Afghans. driving hundreds of thousands of refugees from their homeland. Now Soviet troops prop up a puppet regime unrepresentative of the Afghan people. Elsewhere. valiant Polish workers have sought some small measure of selfgovernment and personal freedom. but always in the face of the enduring Soviet threat to their very existence.
