Policies about the Gulf War cannot be understood merely in terms of support or opposition. Some militarists both in the Soviel Union and the United States opposed that war, while some erstwhile peace strategists supported it. The peace movement was divided primarily between proponents of common security and of collective securiy. Soviet militarists were strengthened by the domestically unpopular acceptance by the foreign ministry of the collective securiy model.
