Maj. General KOSTAS KONSTANTINIDIS(Ret) Author-Journalist Member of ex-NATO Generals for Peace & Disarmament 20-Kalymnou Street, CHALANDRI ,152.31, GREECE Tel: 301 6726 185, Fax: 301 6747 124 e mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear I am shocked and outraged that the US has rejected President Putin's offer to cut the US and Russian nuclear arsenals to 1,000 - 1,500 warheads in order to build a "Son of Star Wars" against the so-called "rogue" states. Russia's suggestion to negotiate a global ban on missile technology is much more sensible, would preserve the ABM Treaty, and would make our world more secure. Instead, the US has advised the Russians to keep 2,500 warheads on launch-on-warning hair-trigger alert, which is a much greater threat to our world security that any missile North Korea might be able to build some day. We could easily handle the North Korean threat by welcoming them into the family of nations and establishing relations with them. Please urge President Clinton to cancel any decisions to violate the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty to build a "national missile defense". Ask him to take up the Russian offer to cut to 1,000 warheads, and then invite the other nuclear weapons states to negotiations for a ban on nuclear weapons, just as we have banned chemical and biological weapons. Sincerely, Kostas X.
