Reagan was right:  let's ban ballistic missiles

<br/><br/> Re-examines Ronald Reagan's 1986 Zero Ballistic Missiles proposal as a means of ridding the world of "the most fearsome weapon system ever devised". Ballistic missile proliferation continues and even after the Moscow Treaty is fully effected in 2012 the USA and Russia will still have thousands of nuclear warheads on hundreds of missiles at high states of readiness. Considers the risks of accidental or unauthorised missile launches and the difficulties of getting middle ranking nuclear powers to agree to such a ban.
