Arms control without arms reduction
The latest arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia is a very sweet deal for those in the U.S. who oppose any reduction in nuclear arms. Sure, the document calls for big reductions in nuclear warheads, from about 6,000 to between 2,200 and 1,700. But there’s no requirement for either side to make actual reductions until 2012, and either side can legally withdraw from the treaty on three months’ notice.
