Excellent -- the Poles and the Czechs got lucky. No Star Wars planned there.

Hope the President, whom I and the majority of the US electorate voted for, will re-think any attempt to tilt at windmills in Iran. Iran has a right to go nuclear and nobody can stop them. The US govt's Iran policy has a powerful lobby-backed pro-Zionist subtext. Give Peace and the Palestinians a chance.

Now can we do the entire South Asia region a favor and get the US and US-led NATO, the hell out of there too?

If history is any guide, the Afghans, can do that on their own, with no help from anyone.

By PETER BAKER and NICHOLAS KULISH

The Obama administration plans to announce a reconfigured system that won’t be based in Poland or the Czech Republic, and will be aimed at intercepting Iranian missiles.
