Yes, escalation of the arms race hasn't achieved much. However,
there is no indication that the Soviets would stop escalating if
we did. After all, many of the US weapons developments (ICBM,
asat and others) were developed IN RESPONSE to Soviet weapons
research.

I agree that it would be nice if we stopped our side of the arms
escalation. However, I don't know of a realistic strategy to
replace what we've been using. Can you suggest one?
