Since Europe is dependent on imports of energy and most of its raw materials, it can be subdued, if not quite conquered, without all those nuclear weapons the Soviets have aimed at it simply through the shipping routes and raw materials they control.
From Barbara Amiel
Outside the walls, among others, is the Soviet Empire. It is malevolent, destructive and expanding. It has swallowed up over half a dozen countries since World War II.
Our society is not perfect and this will come as no surprise to many of you.
Only a free West can help the prisoners of today's left- and right-wing dictatorships.
Of course the barbarians' aim of world domination has not escaped the attention of the Europeans, perhaps because unlike us they are closer to the walls.
It is not empty rhetoric to talk of the Free World.
It did not occur to us that the Marxists' solution was fraudulent or that their vision was distorted, that whatever the wrongs in our society it was not the ideology of theirs that will cure them.
In a free world there is, alas, more common crime than in a dictatorial system.
I have got up at truly deplorable hours in the morning to confront Vancouver's Jack Webster on television because I have been told that is the place to get exposure for ideas.
I have been lucky enough to have had the opportunity of travelling across this country and enduring all the classic situations that go with talking to people.
