If it would benefit the US to have a shield in Europe by improving our ability to intercept missiles inbound to the US then I'm for it.

If it is for the benefit of Europe then let Europe formally ask the US for such a shield and let them propose a formal plan that would address location, cost, political fallout, etc. In other words, it would be a service we would be willing to provide given they pay for such a service. Our NATO allies didn't have our back against the regime in Iraq so why should we have their back against the regime in Iran? They must realize that everything comes at a cost, including the protection we are willing to provide as an ally.

Of course France is excluded from having the right to any protection we might be able to provide as they are not an ally in any sense. Besides, France will be imploding any day now and no one will want to waste a good missile on them anyway.

yeah.. I do agree with what you've said.. If it's for our country's best interest, then we have to support it; but, if it's for Europe, then negotiations must be done accordingly so that our country's efforts will be rewarded.
