For the United States of America, 9/11 was a slap in the face, a punch in the gut (actually, the ultimate sucker punch), and a most serious wake-up call. The 9/11 wake-up call generated several reactions on our part—obviously, protecting ourselves from further attack became (and hopefully still is) priority number one. In light of this important need (i.e., the survival of our way of life), the Department of Homeland Security was created. According to Barack Obama (2007), the Department of Homeland Security does the work that ensures no other family members have to lose a loved one to a terrorist who turns a plane into a missile, a terrorist who straps a bomb around her waist and climbs aboard a bus, a terrorist who figures out how to set off a dirty bomb in one of our cities. ...

The United States proposed defending Europe against Iranian missiles by placing defensive missiles and radar in Poland and the Czech Republic. Russia saw this move as a means to blunt a Russian attack on the United States. It threatened to respond with nuclear weapons if Poland or the Czech Republic allowed the installations.
