Poland is going to allow the US to put part of its so-called "defense shield" there. This in spite of the fact that I saw an article stating that 55% of the Polish people do not want the missles there. http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/83188201-C934-48A6-9E6B-C017FE7D7762.htm
"The US president and his Polish counterpart have said parts of a missile defence system will be built in Poland despite Moscow's objections. George Bush and Lech Kaczynski, meeting at the White House, said that the system was not aimed at Russia but at smaller countries such as Iran or North Korea that US officials say pose a missile threat.
"Bush said on Tuesday the deployment "would provide a security for Europe from single- or dual-launch regimes that may emanate from parts of the world where leaders don't particularly care for our way of life and/or are in the process of trying to develop serious weapons of mass destruction".
"'There's no better symbol of our desire to work for peace and security than working on a missile defence system."Defence instrument
"Kaczynski said: "So it is really a defence instrument, missile defence instrument. And so I do hope that all this project, the whole project will be completed successfully."

"In Poland, a survey by a publicly funded institute in Warsaw, said that 55 per cent of Poles oppose putting the base on Polish territory - a drop from the previous month, when 60 per cent were opposed." An article I saw from July 5th said 68% were opposed.
