Bon jour, guten tag, dzien dobry, buon giorno and buenos dias from Europe Matty, where is the perceived danger btw? From Iran? If Iran started muttering about an attack on the French, the French wouldn't care as they are one big step ahead, they have nuclear warheads. America is spinning the issue more than a spinning-top spins.
http://news.uk.msn.com/iraq-invasion-iraqi-association.aspx, this is the harsh reality from life in Iraq today. What are these soldiers doing other than chasing shadows? Where are the protectorates for everyday people?
Matty, this shield was a suggestion of the US for Poland. I like the idea but we didn't ask for it. It's based on the assumption that Iran will have a nuclear weapon by 2012. Well, STOP THEM b4 that happens if u feel u have more than reasonable grounds for doing so. Monitor, inspect, get in there and do a job. Just be sure it's the right thing to do.
