President Barack Obama says he cancelled the land-based interceptor missile-defense program with Poland and the Czech Republic because he has a better plan. People who believe he made a bad decision say he made it to appease the Russians. They say it tells the former Soviet republics of Eastern Europe, including new NATO allies, that they can’t trust the United States, and it demonstrates US fecklessness to Iran. Did the president make a difficult but smart decision, or did he make one of the worst decisions of his presidency? Either way, it's worrisome.
