Back in my pre-digital days (and therefore I can't back this
up with an archive), I saw a rant on TV from an American
senator who insisted that "Mir" meant both "Peace" and
"World" in Russian; therefore, when Russians said, "We want
mir," they were actually saying "We want the world". His
point being that the Red Menace was everywhere, even right
under our noses.
