If you really want to discuss the failure of a policy like the INF
treaty, look to the fact that if the Reagon administration hadn't
deployed these missles in the first place, they wouldn't have needed a
treaty to remove them! We are basically at the same place we were 8
years ago; thousands of warheads, no place to run. If we had been
brave enough to have the nuclear freeze which Mr. Bush is so proud to
bash on today, he and Mr. Reagon could have signed a treaty
eliminating some REAL missles, not just clean up a couple of missles
which mattered nothing to either side anyways.
