A Long Enough Sentence
in response to reader comment: It'snot Pollard's thats too long - the others are too short

That the Reagan administration should punish Pollard for facilitating the destruction of the Iraqi nuclear reactor is the real crime. How many of our soldiers would be dead if Sadamn Hussein had nuclear weapons. Reagan's Pat Buchanan, a confirmed anti-Semite by leading conservatives, probably had a hand in this. In any case, the Reagan administration was given too much credit for the downfall of the USSR. Primarily because it is still there causing the world problems. Why is Pollard still the fall guy when even Weinberger was pardoned for a much more serious offense - perjury before a congressional committee?
