Updating Missile Defense Treaties

Although the US plans to park missile defense shields all over the place, they are still subject to the approval of the local government, no doubt much to the chagrin of some US politicians:

The Czech parliament has begun debating a deal with Washington to place a U.S. missile defense installation on Czech territory.
U.S. and Czech government officials already have signed the deal's two treaties, but they also must be approved by both houses of the Czech parliament, and the vote is expected to be close in the lower house.
Opposition parties and the general public have joined Russia in strongly criticizing the missile defense plan, which would build a radar base near Prague as part of a missile shield. The U.S. says it is intended to deal with possible threats from Iran.
