Not to mention, the ABM's aren't meant to target SRBM's and Cruise Missiles.
Do you really think that if Russia put missles in Mexico we wouldn't be outraged, regardless of what their stated purpose was for? Are you that naive, or just being disingenuous?

As for the freedom nations, look at how are we reacting to Cuba's support of Hugo Chavez in Venezuala, a country we feel is in OUR sphere of influence. The Russians don't really care if places like Kazakhstan are democracies or dictatorships: what they care about is that they look to Moscow and not to Washington D.C. or Brussels.
