| #9 Europe, the Americas, central-southern Africa, Australia, and south and east Asia have only one real enemy: Muslims. The way to end an Iranian ICBM threat is to destroy their capacity to deliver same. Russians didn't pull out of Eastern Europe so that others could move in. Placement of Euro-missiles are counter-productive, and displace the real arena for contention. You can trust a Muslim as far as you can spit against a hurricane. |

| #8 Geosynch satellites can detect a launch. They don't have the resolution to guide for an intercept. I guess this satellite could also have radio/TV broadcasting equipment telling everyone downrange to kiss their asses goodbye. |

| #7 If the same job can be done with a satelite in GSO near Iran we should spare no expense as satelites don't require permission and aren't held hostage to the whims of the voters. Having said that we should pull everything out of Europe. Everything, and downgrade embassies to consolate status everwhere except in Brussels. This would remove the piggybacking on US defense the Europeans have enjoyed and the guilt that goes along with it. It would also help eliviate the paranoia the Russians are always dealing with. |

| #5 Let's hope so. I rather we not spend billions of tax dollars and hundreds of millions each year for maintenance that the Europeans are perfectable of shouldering. If Bush wants to put up a missile shield, do it in Virginia. |

| #4 I believe the best thing we can do to secure Europe is to let them sink or swim on their own. We really need to cut the umbilical cord. |
