Defend; hl3 decision to set gainst Grenada's
ls2.wir.3 revolutionary council, which came to power
in a cj: en Oct. 12, Kesn accused the Soviet
Union cf encouraging violence on the island end in
Lebanon.
EccH-n t poke a few hours after the White House
said the 2,000 UJ3. Marines and Army Rangers in
Grenada found, a ratjor Cuban military buildup
- patterned after the Cuban presence in Angola and
Ethiopia. - ..
". Reetin said GOO Cubans described by the Havana
government as construction workers had been taken
' prisoner, "end we have discovered a complete base
with weapons end communications equipment which
makes it clear a Cuban occupation of the bland had
. been planned. -
: Te not there just m time," he said.
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.

U.S. officials said evidence points to Iranian
terrorists. ' ' . ..
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. ' - '
