US Missile Shields Proliferating

The US is parking missile defense systems in Poland, the Czech Republic
and Israel (tho Poland is rethinking).

Now, in addition to having troops in about 4 bordering countries, the US plans to further encircle Iran by installing a missile shield in the UAE:
The Bush administration is planning to sell the United Arab Emirates an advanced US missile defence system valued at up to $7bn that could be used to defend against Iran, people who have attended briefings on the matter said on Monday.


NPR has a pretty in-depth analysis of missile defense shields and the political and technical ramifications.
