Gray's article on SDI is so full of airy generalities it's difficult to come to grips with it. But he tips his hand when he says that "The all-purpose claim that strategic defense would be destabilizing is increasingly acknowledged by the critics to be improbable, unless the Soviet Union unilaterally deploys new defenses in addition to its huge strategic offensive arsenal."
What does he mean "unilaterally" if we're the ones who start the new cycle? Does he really think they would not develop their own SDI if we do?
