The White House said earlier that more than 1,000 Cubans were on Grenada and were heavily armed ' and commanded by a colonel. " Keshan said Tuesday he ordered the invasion of Grenada to meet a request for intervention made by Caribbean country 3, to restore democracy and to protect 1,000 Americans there. - "I believe our government has a responsibility to aid of its citizens if their right to life and liberty fa threatened," he said. "The nightmare of our hostages in Iran must never be repeated." Reagan said the events in Grenada and Lebanon, where at least 225 American servieerr.cn with the multinational peacekeeping force were killed by a terrorist bomb Sunday, were closely related even though they were oceans apart ' - ' "Not only has Moscow assisted and encouraged the violence in both countries, it provides direct support through a network of surrogates and ter rorists," he said. ''.'':: Reagan said the United States had "strong circum stantial evidence" the attack on the Marines was directed by the same terrorists who bombed the U.S. Embassy in Beirut last summer. . . . v ; " - ..: - - ; V -. . a' . ... . -, ; ..... -'" ' . . ; ; .i-v'.r-.

He said Moscow has placed 7,000 advisers and echnician3 and massive weaponry in Syria, which he again blamed for the stalemate in Lebanon. Syria "makes no secret of its claim that Lebanon should be part of Greater Syria," he said. Reagan said the time had passed when America's national security was based on a standing army in the United States and artillery batteries along its COSStS. .' "The world has changed," he said. "Today, our national security can be theatened in far away places. It is up to all of us to be aware of the strategic importance of such places and to be able to identify them." Reagan pledged to get tro0p3 out of Grenada as soon a3 possible. " ' He also promised to take new steps to assure the security of American forces in Lebanon but rejected browing calls to bring them home. "We must not strip every ounce of meaning and purpose from their courageous sacrifice," he said. First strilce philosophy obsolete, Morland says By Kema Soderberg "You can't shoot the gun out of the bad guy's hand," said Howard Morland in his address, "The Danger of Nuclear War b Increasing." Morland, the disarmament program coordinator for the Coalition for a New Foreign and Military Policy, explained Thursday night why a first strike military policy is obsolete and he described some alternatives. Morland wrote "The H-Bomb Secret," describing how to build a nuclear weapon in the late 70s. The article was once banned. Morland said the original purpose of nuclear weapons wasn't to prevent a nuclear war and that our first plan was to attack all our enemy's cities leaving no survivors. Since the Soviet Union started developing it's own nuclear arsenals after the Cuban Missile Crisis, this plan has become obsolete. Morland said the only way to destroy the enemy's weapons and "win" a nuclear war is to hit them while they are in the ground. In order to do this, the country must have a first strike system.
