Dear Ann Landers my husband has enrolled in a course that teaches people How to be assertive the Man is making lots of to cries he was plenty aggressive before could this  an Appeal to the superpower leaders for arms talks in the past few months weeks and Days we americans have heard and read about it from the evening news 10 the magazines and news paper the arms race Between the two super Powers the United slates and soviet Union. The bickering and slandering Between the superpowers has been basically about which country is breaking the rules or not following the rules set to control the arms race. It is at times enough to make any american or rus Sian wonder if the two Powers arc trying to control the arms race. The superpowers seem to be treating the arms race As something like child s play. I for one Don t consider an arms race that deals with nuclear weapons child s play. Just one of these nuclear weapons can de stroy a vast amount of this planet. 1 think the two superpowers ought to take a moment in life right now to take a look at the world As it is today. It is a planet that has peace amongst the superpowers but with chaos and wars scattered through out other parts of the world. The most important thing in this world today seems to be the two superpowers and what they have managed to do which is create an Arsenal of nuclear weapons which could destroy this planet and Only god knows what else How Many times Over no one knows for sure. In reality probably Only a dozen nuclear weapons would destroy this planet. So Why is there an arms race to create an Arsenal of nuclear weapons which in the end probably one third will be used to destroy in a matter of minutes what took Mankind hundreds of years to establish peace. While there is still time the United states and the soviet Union need to sit Down at the table and establish an arms control which the two countries will agree dear t definitely. Asserting oneself is not Wenyi Yood me. For note when lulled up ibos has gun to your bad it better to w him h. To reminder a letters to the editor must Couin it Fri printed "i,.0 ,2writetwdroiist be signed. We will with hold Yow name on request and protect your Princy. On. This needs to be done before the time is too late. The two men who should be Silling at this table should be the two main men who will in the i i order the destruction of this planet along with millions of innocent  ple. These two men have got to be president Reagan and the soviet Leader Gorbachev. It will be Between these two leaders As to who will make that decision to push the Button which will destroy the world la is for this reason that president Reagan and soviet Leader Gorbachev must Sil Down and talk about this arms control on nuclear weapons not senators or congressmen be cause they arc the in bal when Guy who will not make that decision to destroy inc world. These two leaders must talk this Oul no matter How Many Days or weeks it takes. It has to be done before it is too late. The future does not look Bright at pre sent because the arms race looks like a race to destroy the planet and the people upon it. The United states and soviet Union should think Back 40 some Odd years ago to a world War that threatened to destroy the peace upon this planet. Two nations along with Many others United to end inc threat. Two of those nations were the United states and the soviet Union. But today the two superpowers arc Sepa rated by the arms race. They talk peace and an end to this arms race but sometimes i wonder if these two superpowers really know what they want or what they Are talk ing about or arc they just blowing wind so i say to president Reagan and soviet Leader Gorbachev sit Down and talk peace whether it is in the wheat Fields of Kansas the . In new York or in some Neutral country in Europe or even in the soviet Union. Talk peace to end this arms race he wants ship attack investigated recently the stars and stripes published an article quoting the former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff adm. Thomas Moorcr calling for a congressional investigation into the deliberate attack on the lib erty. As a survivor of the attack and currently president of the  Liberty veterans association i can Only Echo adm. Moorer s  survivors would like to know Why an incident in which a foreign government without provocation deliberately attacks and destroys a . Navy ship on the High seas killing 34 americans and wounding 171 others docs nor warrant a Complete Public congressional investigation. We have been repeatedly told by our congressmen there is not enough sup port on Capitol Hill for a congressional  i ask you. Why is it the responsibility of the survivor of the at thank you to helpful soldiers on sept. 18, three Kilometres from Owci Bruecken near the is. Air base my car broke  our dismay while trying to figure out what to do and How to do it two Young american soldiers in a vow Van volunteered to help us. It was with gratitude that we accepted the  an incredible degree of efficiency and expertise the car was fixed in no time. I invited them for a drink at the Home of my Friend where we were also having. They politely turned it Down. I could not dare to offer any Money. So i used Bow on Earth i could show my Heartfelt a Precia  one who did most of the Job said it s easy just Promise me that you la also help someone you come carom who is in trouble in the  it did not occur to me to ask their name and addresses so that i could write them when 1 figure out a Way to thank them or to write a letter to their Superior to inform them How gallantly the Young soldiers had acted. So May i seek your indulgence to make my appreciation for these men Public and before it is too late. I doubt if president Reagan or the soviet Leader Gorbachev will read this letter or even see this question but i ask it anyway. Can you As the president or the Leader of the Sovil Union give the order that will launch weapons which you know will most Likely kill your wife your loved ones your children and millions of other innocent  ple All for what nothing. For in the end the Only thing that will be left will be ashes. Can you give that order when you know that some time during your term in office you could have put an end to inc arms race and had peace and prevented the destruction of this planet and its people so what will be the outcome Only god and the two leaders of the superpowers know that answer.
