Russia’s Plea for Western Aid

In response to “West’s Blindness Invites a Monster,” by Vladimir Pozner, Commentary, Feb. 14:
If you were starving and others were partaking of plenty; if your country was falling apart and others were prospering; and if those who were healthy and happy had recently been your mortal enemies, would you be tempted to use a few or more of your 27,000 nuclear warheads against them? I don’t think Mikhail Gorbachev would have. I don’t think Boris Yeltsin will. I also don’t know who is next.
Food for thought. Food for the hungry. Now.
PAUL A. BUTLER, San Diego
