U.S. missile shield is provocation: Austrian minister

VIENNA (Reuters) - Austrian Defense Minister Norbert Darabos has called U.S. plans for a missile defense shield in eastern Europe a "provocation" reviving Cold War debates.

"That the United States are installing a defense shield in eastern Europe is a provocation in my view," Darabos was quoted as saying in an interview with daily Die Presse on Thursday.

"The U.S. has chosen the wrong path in my opinion. There is no point in building up a missile defense shield in Europe.

Now just imagine the first man to wish to avoid being stabbed by another, who dreamed up the idea of something to block that stabbing motion by the attacker....little did he realize that he was the agressor, and provoking others to come and stab him !
