Regarding the Nov. 16 Associated Press article "Sarkozy nixes U.S. missile shield plan (in Europe)": I applaud French President Nicolas Sarkozy for throwing a wet blanket over the U.S. plan. If I wanted to provoke Russia and squander billions of dollars, the plan would be outstanding. How much more firepower does the United States need to feel secure? Leave well enough alone, move on and use the billions on constructive projects. The U.S. should embrace economy and frugality anyway rather than pursue old, expensive ways.
