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
