Obama explains missile defense decision
President Barack Obama explains why he canceled the missile shield plan for eastern Europe.
The missile shield was supposedly to protect Poland and neighboring companies from Iranian missiles, but it was causing a lot of friction with Russia.
There will still be a defense system against the unlikely possibility that Iran should launch a ballistic missile at Europe. This system will be more based on sea using current interceptors to shoot down short range missiles.
