(journal #31:) Dear President Reagan,

My name is A[...] W[...], I live in Greenwich, Conn., and I am 12. If we dont [sic] agree with another government, does that give us the right to attack them? How do you know that the Cubans' weapons were going to be given to terrorists and used for the death of American medical students? We have defense weapons, don't we? Attacking a nation occupied by Russians is very dangerous. The communists are extremely powerful! If we had a disagreement with the Canadians, would you attack? It wasn't wise of Americans to go to school in an area occupied by communists, but they were there. You should have had peace talks with the Grenadian government. President Reagan, I don't think you spend enough time on your California ranch.
