do I pretend to have the solution to the arms race. But then, I can't pretend that disarmament is a good idea either (and you think Reagan's got quite an imagination to believe in the START talks)!!!

I am not quite sure I understand the point here. However I think it is totally inaccurate for militarists like Ronald Reagan to talk about arms control or the Nuclear Freeze representing "disarmament". As much as I would like to see disarmament take place, the Nuclear Freeze proposal does not call for disarmament-no weapons would be deleted from either superpowers huge stockpile. The Nuclear Freeze just calls for a halt to the arms race-given 50,000 nuclear weapons that is way more than enough-why don't both sides stop now! Tim Sevener whuxl!orb

50K weapons are more than enough? More than enough for what? Those 50K are very diverse systems indeed, you cant make a blanket statement like that? You make no mention of accuracy or throweight or many otheer important details. As for freezing us into inadaquacy and old unreliable systems such as the B-52, I say no thank you. Try not to be so simplistic, it tends to make you look unintelligent. Milo
