OBAMA'S MISSILE-DEFENSE DECISION - Smart Move or Big Mistake?

Posted by EWRoss on Monday, September 21, 2009 8:00:00 AM
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.

Posted by EWRoss on Monday, June 22, 2009 8:00:00 AM
Since North Korea’s recent successful nuclear weapon and ballistic missile tests, Kim Jong-Il has been behaving a like spoiled child throwing a temper tantrum. He warns that any actions taken against him in response to past or future tests would spark a nuclear war. At the same time, North Korea prepares for the test of a 4,500-kilometer range Taepodong-2 missile he plans to launch toward Hawaii on or about July 4. Increasingly, it appears that we’re going to have to call Kim’s hand with a Cold-War-style confrontation or admit there’s nothing we can do about his nuclear weapons and missile programs. The longer we postpone that confrontation the greater the risk.
