Last summer Clinton managed to avoid a spat over his national missile defense (NMD) program and punted the issue to his successor, arguing that missile-busting technology was still unproved. While Powell lately has signaled lukewarm support for missile defense, Bush?s Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, is one of nmd?s biggest cheerleaders. Europe?s leaders fret...
