One reason for not including the missiles of Britain and France
in our count (for negotiating purposes) is that we could not count
on Britain and France using their missiles to protect anyone but
themselves.  W. Germany is not allowed to have nuclear weapons
as a result of WW II.  Does anyone seriously believe that the French
would use their missiles against the Soviets in the event of a
Soviet invasion of Germany??
