...prospective deployment but cancel it altogether. The simplicity and boldness of the scheme appealed to Reagan, and it had the advantage of seeming to give some of the noisier Europeans what they wanted. Pacifists and critics of NATO in Schmidt's Social Democratic Party had called for the Null-Losung, the "zero solution," although for them, along with "ban the Bomb" and "zone of peace," it was part of the vocabulary of European neutralism.
