Waste of money

NYTimes:

WASHINGTON, May 21 — The Bush administration is moving to establish a new antimissile site in Europe that would be designed to stop attacks by Iran against the United States and its European allies.
The administration's proposal, which comes amid rising concerns about Iran's suspected program to develop nuclear weapons, calls for installing 10 antimissile interceptors at a European site by 2011. Poland and the Czech Republic are among the nations under consideration.

Why would the Poles and Czechs listen to such a proposal? They're soliciting a bribe. Why would the Iranians target Europe -- assuming they develop the capability? They wouldn't. The Europeans actually have something called diplomatic relations with Iran. This idea will be hugely unpopular across Europe.
