Dismay in Europe as Obama Ditches Missile Defence
President Obama dismayed America's allies in Europe and angered his political opponents at home today when he formally ditched plans to set up a missile defence shield in Poland and the Czech Republic.
My mom is from Latvia.. so this is a topic that has much passion in my family. I knew that Pres. Obama was not going to continue with the missile defense system. That had been floating for a while.. but the fact that he announced it TODAY on the anniversary of the Soviet attack of Poland makes it feel as though Poland should feel even more vulnerable. He had to know the date... what possible good purpose was the choice of announcing it on this day?
