>> To Placate Moscow, U.S. Would Keep Missile-Defense System Off for Now
>> By THOM SHANKER - March 17, 2008

>> Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said Sunday that the United States,
>> in order to calm Moscow's concerns over a proposed missile-defense
>> system in Europe, would promise not to turn on elements of it until
>> Iran had demonstrated it had a missile capable of reaching Europe.
>>
>> Mr. Gates said the United States had put "a very forward-leaning set
>> of proposals on the table," which he said warranted a return trip to
