| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Because Europe and the U.S. forces based there face a near-term ballistic missile threat, President Barack Obama's decision to abandon a Bush-era missile defense plan makes good sense. In contrast to President George W. Bush's approach, which focused primarily on a few potential ICBMs, Obama's is more suited to Iran's growing arsenal of medium- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles. |
