Bush's Missile Defense: Damn The Statesmanship - Full Speed Ahead!

Bush is going ahead as he previously planned on deployment of an Eastern Europe missile defense system.

No doubt this news is really going to piss of Russia's Putin since he had offered some alternatives.
I am not seeing what good it does to further piss-off Putin - but then again I didn't see why we couldn't wait until the U.N.'s final report and conclusion on those Terrible Weapons Of Mass Destruction in Iraq and- in the first place- what Saddam had to do with terrorism since al Quaida didn't like him either.
