Building a missile defense shield in eastern Europe will protect America how?

By shooting down missiles that cannot reach the other side of the planet? Sorry, I don't buy that neocon logic.

Yaron exposed himself as a disgusting neocon at the very end... it's not America's responsibility or obligation to protect other countries.

The 1979 and 1983 attacks by Iran were retaliations because the freedom lovin' US of A overthrew a legitimate government that Iranians had and installed the puppet Shah in its place for access to the oil.

It's called blowback. Read Imperial Hubris by Michael Scheuer. The man knows a thing or two about blowback.
