- How can a victim of nationalism be collegial with one who so self-
- righteously endorses his nation's arbitrary interference into the
- peaceful activities of unaffiliated third parties, such as non-
- nationals who would trade in encryption software? I'm afraid that
- your time inside the beltway has blinded you to the fact that your
- ``democratically elected Congress'' institutes a tyranny of the
- majority which is inconsistent with personal freedom and civility
- and even with the ostensible principles of your government.
-
- See my letter in Communications of the ACM, 1992 April, for
- amplification on these points.
