Document Summary
We have gone piling up weapon upon weapon, missile upon missile, new levels of destructiveness upon the old ones. We have done this helplessly, almost involuntarily: like the victims of some sort of hypnotism, like men in a dream, like lemmings heading for the sea, like the children of hamlin marching blindly along behind their pied piper. And the result is that today we have achieved in the creation on these devices and their means of delivery, levels of redundancy of such grotesque dimensions as to defy rational understanding george f. kennan. Making a distinction between disarmament and weapons / arm control. Disarmament: act of reducing, limiting, or abolishing weapons. General process of abolishing all weapons: slow and steady process, weapons in which we believe are not humane for war. Weapons free zones: canada and us (rush-bagot treaty of 1817) Reduction of military budgets: not very successful. Control on weapons profit and illegal trade.
