What would happen if the US unilaterally disarmed? I see the following
scenario:

	Day 1: Reagan (or whoever is president) gets a note from the kremlin:
		`Please turn over the keys to the US, or the enclosed list
		of cities will be obliterated at the rate of one a day.'
	Day 2: First city goes away. (I nominate Chicage :-))
	Day 3 to n: Further cities go away, while the public outcry for
		surrender increases.
	Day n+1: Russian is added as a mandatory language in grade school.
