Ask the people,
“Do you think the Soviets will withdraw from Afghanistan since
the Western alliances are unanimous in their demand?”
“No. Pride is one of the greatest
human flaws. The Soviets
carefully planned their invasion of
Afghanistan and that included
'counting the costs.' To back down
now would do more harm to their
world image than remaining in
Afghanistan. However, I do
believe Western reaction should
be strong enough to deter future
Soviet aggression." Rev. Danny
Whitehead, pastor of the Seminole
First United Methodist Church
“I don't know if they will or not.
I feel that with the pressure put on
the Soviet Union to withdraw from
Afghanistan at the recently
concluded conference, they
might...I hope. If the Western
world powers will stick together
and do like they say they will, and
the Soviets are convinced they
can't push the world around any
further, they'll pull out of
Afghanistan." Jack Harkins, at
Town and Country TV, 108 South
Main Street
news closely every day, which is
the only way any of us have as a
base for our opinions...since the
United States is going to begin
register for the draft again, the
situation may be more serious
than any of us know. Since the
conference, and all the Western
powers stood firm on that < ,ue,
maybe that will open the Soviet's
eyes and prompt them to move
their troops from Afghanistan."

armed forces out of Afghanistan

while they are busy laying the
groundwork for something more
important to them somewhere
else. It may look like they're
moving to withdraw, but I don't
think we can rely on how it looks
or what they say." Mrs. Sanford

question. I don't think even the
experts on foreign affairs who
attended the conference can

I don't feel anybody can predict
