Missile Shield Opinion Of Czechs/Poles: Elites For, Masses Against.

THE GUARDIAN.UK/
In the Czech Republic, two-thirds of the public polled since 2006 said that they were against the U.S. missile shield.
"Aside from the symbolism (of being protected against the Eastern Bear), one suspects that one thing that really has the Polish and Czech elites upset is that, well, America is no longer going to be building massive and expensive missile bases and radar system (respectively) in their nations, which means no massive flow of Yankee dollars, no fat contracts for their pals'companies."
