missile defense system for Europe a good thing??

Answer 1

Yeah. It will help keep missiles from hostile arab and persian gulf countries out of Europe. I can't understand why Russia is stomping around, pouting, acting like a petulant child over it. Idiots...

Hey, Vocal Democrat below... It's called "planning ahead," numbnuts... Using your logic, I could have said on September 10, 2001, "Name me one terrorist that has ever flown a plane into a building."

Answer 2

I'm going to answer no.

A missile defense system that is consistently successful in shooting down incoming missile has not been created yet. So, asking Europe to put into place a system that is not successful and cost billions of dollars to implement is not a good idea.

Also, as we have become a world where the fear of country to country war is sharply reduced, especially among developed countries, who are generally the only countries to afford the technology to build intercontinental ballistic missiles, I feel that money could be better spent on programs to assist in other areas.

Additionally, our focus seems to be on the "war on terror", they don't use missile to expensive and easy to track. It is much more effective for them to create small portable bombs which contain radiation or chemicals and detonate them in high population areas. This is not defensible using a missile defense shield.

We need to start thinking pro actively to deal with the world's problems. Perhaps instead of building this missile shield, ask ourselves why do we need it, and how can we address the problems developing that would cause somebody to decide to launch missiles at us in the first place.

I know it was a long answer, but I'm a Social Studies teacher, we talk to much.

Answer 3

Hey, I just asked that question and now I won't have to answer myself, Yippee!! I don't think we need a defense missile in Europe because of all the missiles that are there anyway. Besides, who are they going to shoot at Russia, China, Korea. None are good choices cause they have missiles too and lots of 'em. Let Europe handle their stuff themselves. I think Europe can handle their own problems and its about time. We need to start taking care of ourselves instead of other countries. If anywhere in Europe was to get bombed I'm very sure the USA would be there in a heartbeat. It always has. So no I don't think it would be a good thing. Got that off my chest

Answer 4

There was a time when wind mills and telephone poles marked our skies; now there are missiles. why that is? Well, lets see here. a missile made of this and that can not be legally passed around without being found and torn apart for other need this world may have, so then another plan i say they thrust the stuff across the land and into the hands of those in charge to use and to make a floating barge or as they say in the day, a ship, a ship to sail away into the waters of the deep hiding from all the sheep there i will find life sublime and make it home for dinner time.

Answer 5

it is a good thing when everybody can exercise their rights (by US permission) to create their own 'missile defense system' to 'defend' themselves. guns pointing at each other. go Bush go...

Answer 6

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

I heard it's to keep the missles from the Arab states? Let me ask you - name me ONE military power-house country that has the capicity to land a long range ballistic/atomic warhead across the ocean to the USA?

Funny, I can't think of any (INCLUDING RUSSIA).

It takes an absolute lunatic to think otherwise. Man, we really this idiot out of the white house before this he can do any more damage!!!!!!

Answer 7

Just another unneeded bonehead idea that's going to cause more trouble than its worth.
