Bush-Era Missile Defense Plan Overhaul

After reading the article Obama scraps Bush-era missile defense for new plan it makes me think that Obama is very active in relationships with other countries. This new plan would make a better and safer than Bush's plan. Even though the Secretary of Defense Robert Gates denies the scrapping of the missile defense systems."The Islamic republic's "short- and medium-range" missiles pose the most current threat, he said, and "this new ballistic missile defense will best address that threat." This is a way for Obama to strength international relationships with Europe and there allies. So that is a good step forward for us. If threats are stopped immediately then maybe it will also stop wars.Though the system is useless against short and medium range it is still in development.That what i think about the article.
