Knowing that I'm going to draw a lot of fire on this
questions, I'm posing it anyway:  why doesn't the US
simply, unilaterally disarm all nuclear weapons?

What do all of you hackers in netland see as the outcome
of this action?  Do you believe that the USSR would invade
the continental US?  Or would they just launch their missiles
immediately?  Would world opinion be pro or con?  Would we
scare the hell out of Margaret or Mitterand?  Would the U.N.
see this as a bold move toward World Peace or an American
Trick??

Honest, folks.  What do you think would happen?
