You guys over on the other side of the Atlantic need to test your water.

We are ALLIES! Whether you like the current President or not, it still doesn't change the fact that for damn near seventy years in some cases we have been allied to and fighting a war on the same side as most of Western Europe, whether it be France, the UK, West Germany, Italy, etc. The rest of the world knows this. Do you think Al Qaeda would be satisfied with the complete destruction of the United States? NO! Next they would target Europe, which they are already doing. Same goes with a lot of other terrorist organizations and "rogue states". Consider this, Russia is the only nation in the world we aren't allied to with the ability to hit the United States with an ICBM, China can hit Hawaii, maybe the West Coast, North Korea can hit South Korea and Japan, Pakistan and India can hit each, France and the United Kingdom have no desire to nuke us and Israel's survival is dependent on the United States. As I already said, any full-scale attack on the United States will likely target Europe also and if a nation like Iran does somehow acquire the means to hit the United States they would have to fire their missiles over Europe if their target is the East Coast, which it most likely would be, and therefore the best chance to intercept said missile would be over Europe. Well, the best chance would be over Iran, but I don't see them letting us build a missile defense system in their nation.
