Bravo to Stephen Chapman`s Jan. 7 column ripping apart the posturing of Jeane Kirkpatrick on our defense ”vulnerability.” I have been amazed that no one has done this before–and often.
Of course, the popular estimation of Kirkpatrick`s high value as a government official and political analyst is a consistent extension of the general perception of the Reagan administration itself. Backlash emotions and wishful thinking have made Reagan simplistics seem to be sound approaches to complex problem-solving.
