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!
