The Ploughshares-funded Union of Concerned Scientists [2] (UCS) urges President Obama to reverse Bush administration plans to locate parts of the U.S. missile defense system in Eastern Europe. David Wright [3] of the UCS Global Security Program [4] remarked, “President Obama should say no to deploying a missile defense system that offers no security benefits and needlessly provokes Russia. Missile defense is not a magic bullet. Real-world threats require real-world solutions.”
