Zusammenfassung:THE AUTHOR CRITICIZES THE WRITINGS OF CHRISTOPHER LAYNE REGARDING US DEFENSE POLICIES IN WESTERN EUROPE. HE ARGUES THAT LAYNE REFUSES TO CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS PROPOSALS AND THAT THIS STEMS FROM AN ARROGANT VIEW THAT THE USA CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE SHOULD ITS DENUCLEARIZATION AND WITHDRAWAL ACTUALLY JEOPARDIZE EUROPE'S SECURITY. MOREOVER, LAYNE DOES NOT SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR A CAUSAL CONNECTION BETWEEN EUROPE'S DEMISE AND AMERICA'S AND THE POSSIBLY DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES FOR US POLICY IF LAYNE'S MODEL OF RESIDUAL DETERRENCE IS ADOPTED.
