Unfortunately it was the US that first introduced nuclear weapons
into Europe. For a long time we had a clear advantage over
the Soviets in numbers and types of weapons. Now that the
Soviets have begun to catch up with the SS-20, etc. we need
to deal with the problem of nuclear weapons in Europe as
well as everywhere else.

I think it is clear that the solution is NOT just a continual
increase in nuclear weaponry by ourselves and the Soviets.
The Europeans are beginning to realize that, as in Germany,
many towns are 'only 2 kilotons apart'.  Even a modest use
of nuclear weapons (say 10 to 50) would result in massive
civilian casualties.
