Yeah, and I'm not trying to suggest that my memories are all inclusive, but even having experienced Libya, Nicaragua, Iran etc, many voters, I think, were more concerned about government manipulation, like the Iran Contra affair, than they really felt threatened (although they apparently weren't concerned enough to vote for Dukakis, or maybe they liked the idea of voting for Bush for the reasons we've suggested.)
