Mark Sauter:

I don't feel that there will ever be a time when the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. will be disarmed completely. No nation has ever negotiated a lasting peace with sovereignty with a hostile and better-armed neighbor. Peace only comes through equality.

3. How do you feel about the growing peace movement among students in Western Europe?

Liane Rozzell:

I think it's great. I don't believe that if people are preparing for a situation they will have the self-restraint to stop from entering situation. So I think that if people protest those preparations, it's a good first step.

Bharat Dube:

I think it's ironical that countries that have instigated violence in the past should be starting the peace movement. I think that this is a good lesson. They are promoting peace because, unlike the U.S., they know war...I feel very favorably about it in general. They might be able to put some sense into someone.

Ron Abedon:

I'm all for the uprisings. The Europeans because they have experienced international war directly, on their soil, feel directly affected by this bantering about theatre nuclear war and limited nuclear war that we Americans seem to feel isolated from, and I think that's scary.

Andre Schleiffer:

I disapprove of it. I think the reason for it is their patronizing attitude towards Americans. I think that it will be impossible to convince them that they are wrong... The U.S. should pursue a policy of active involvement in NATO regardless of the views of the German youth. They should not be given any weight. I find it ironic that Europe has enjoyed the longest period of peace this century since the formation of NATO and the involvement of the U.S. in Europe. One is struck by the similarity of this peace movement with those of the thirties in Europe and some of the attitudes prevalent before World War I. The Europeans have twice failed to secure their own freedom in this century, and I for one feel a growing impatience with what seems to be a reenactment of all of their traditional mistakes.
