Abstract:
The real danger posed by the nuclear freeze is that it offers the American public a dishonest vision of easy arms control. It raises unrealistically high expectations of early success. As such, it undermines the public's the slow, careful arms negotiating process that necessary for real achievement. Rather than bring peace, the current freeze movement can reap only dangerous disillusion and--what is far worse-strategic instability.
