''Following in the Polish government's footsteps, the two-month-old center-right Czech cabinet is expected officially to enter into talks with Washington by the end of March, arguing that Europe would be better off joining the US defence system against missiles from so- called rogue states when it has a chance.''

I'm pleased that both Poland and the Czech Republic realize the necessity to have the missile defense system installed. The so-called allies of today (e.g. Germany, France) could turn into enemies at the drop of a hat and thus become rogue states that would need to be adequately deterred. The countries of eastern Europe with its Christian values are America's true allies and thus fully deserve our aid and protection. Old Europe on the other hand is infested with millions of Muslim radicals who will sooner or later establish an Islamic Caliphate and impose the Shariah. . .

I am a Czech American living in Prague and I am against the base on Czech soil because I don't believe that the US wants to help protect europe or somekind of nonsense like that. The US has it's goals and I believe those are to put pressure on Russia so it can have a stronger hand in it's dealings with Russia and Europe. I think that if things heat up too much than there would be a chance of Russian bombs falling on the Czech Republic due to some conflict between the US and Russia. I think the the Czech Republic should stay as neutral as possible. It is already part of NATO and that is enough. Why not stick those anti missile missiles in Israel where there is a better chance of shooting down any missiles being launched from the middle east. The US gives more foreign aid to Israel than any other country so they should volunteer to be the umbrella.

Dude the only thing that has kept Russian bombs from falling on Czech for the past 60 years is the US.

Do not make the mistake of thinking that Poland and the Czech Republic are in favor of the missile shield just because their governments consider it.

Actually there are only some certain politicians in their actual governments who are.

The topic is source of great controversy in daily politics in both countries at the moment as the vast majority of Czech's and Poles is opposed to the installment of the missile system. Recent polls show that the people of both countries do not feel threatened at all by Iran or North Korea.


The public sentiment is more like : We have as much an argument with those two countries as Jamaica has with Mongolia.
