or
ty in high places, implying that he him-
self has high moral standards. Yet in
his self-righteousness he a d v o cates,
among other virtuous proposals, a tight-
er economic blockade of Cuba.
His conservative conscience would not
be bothered by the human s u f fering
which would result from such action'
-At least, the Cubans would suffer hung-
er. And very likely war might result
'Castro might react in desperation with
a rash military move, giving the CIA
and the Pentagon an, excuse-'ttf"l.Mt1
gate an invasion of the island or the
bombing of the Cubans into , submis-
sion.
t iorallty? Our government, under both-
major political parties, has acted in a
highly immoral manner toward "ene-
my" peoples in the name of Good -
Democracy, Freedom.
Neither party has a monopoly on 1
morality. But I am afraid that if Cold-
water were elected, he and his band of
super?patriots might use our military {
power to try to impose their concept of
what is Right - that is, nineteenth cen-
tury-rugged individualist-free enter:pise-
Americanism - on a world unwilling to
accept it.
After all, extremism in the pursuit of
such a noble objective would be no!
vice. And moderation would be no vir-
tue. It might mean nuclear war but, it
could be argued, we all have to die
sooner or later, anyway. Let's all die
