Publication	2009.
Summary/Abstract	It seems that every conversation about Iran is a conversation about sanctions. Even in the midst of negotiations, the talk is as likely to be about the sanctions that might follow as it is about the negotiation itself. This is an odd and unfortunate state of affairs.

Winning on ballistic missiles but losing on Cruise / Gormley, Dennis M

Gormley, Dennis M	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Publication	2009.
Summary/Abstract	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.
