The United States' plan to place parts of its Missile Defense System in European countries, pursuant to bilateral agreements, has triggered a major political controversy in Germany. However, important technical and strategic questions have been left out of this discussion. For example, to what extent is Europe really at risk of a missile attack from Iran (as the U.S. claims)? How would the planned missile defense system protect Europe?
In Restoring the Balance: A Middle East Strategy for the Next President, experts from the Council on Foreign Relations and the Saban Center at the Brookings Institution propose a new, nonpartisan Middle East strategy drawing on the lessons of past failures to address both the short-term and long-term challenges to U.S. interests.
