And did the American left take effective steps to stop it? Faced with that. one has to look at the historic record. Faced with the refugees from Southeast Asia. the Vietnamese and Cuban boat refugees. the demands of freedom fighters. the assertions of Solzhenitsyn. Shcharansky. and Sakharov and the cries of the refuseniks. the American left finds it easier to hide In a pleasant fantasy world of blaming America first and seeking negotiated solutions by which America could live comfortably with the Soviet empire and its bases in our backyard. In my Judgment it is impossible to debate people who are traumatized by the Vietnam debate as high school and college students.
