I was offended that Sting could even believe Russians don't love their children.

!? Methinks it's "we will protect you" Reagan who could believe that, not Sting!

"Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you
I dont subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the russians love their children too"

"We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the russians love their children too"

"Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
I dont subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the russians love their children too"

I'm not saying I disagree with the political statement, obviously (see the huge gigantic anti-cold war diary I wrote.)

If I said, I hope Jerome loves his children, you'd think, Well, of course he does!!  Of course he does.  Of course the Russians do to.  Why even throw that out there?  It's absurd.

And that's the last I will say about the matter here.

That exactly was Sting's point against Reagan.

I don't want to further lengthen this sidetrack, but I believe I can pinpoint where you started to read Sting's lyrics differently from others. You didn't quote the full first verse -- the second line you quoted in fact refers to what you didn't quote, not Khrushchev.

In Europe and America, there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you
I dont subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the russians love their children too
