Is the Cold War Returning? |

U.S.
and Poland signed an agreement Wednesday to place a U.S. missile
base in Poland just 115 miles from Russia. This followed a move
by Moscow of possible military action there.
For many Poles, this treaty is a guarantee?of safety for
themselves in the face of a military
attack. After the signing the agreement, U.S. Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice dismissed
any suggestion that the ten missile defense interceptors would
be there for reasons other than what Washington states are for
the defense of Europe in case of an attack from Iran.
Russia Generals have threaten Poland if they accepted the
agreement and the base, possibly even with nuclear weapons.
Secretary Rice said, "The Russians are losing their credibility
and Russia will pay the price for their invasion to Georgia."
Approval for the missile sites are still needed from the Czech
and Polish parliaments. No date has been set for the lawmakers
in Warsaw to vote, but most of the Polish people are in favor of
the bill.
We are very worried about this new development in Europe,
especially in Poland. We don't want to see a return to the “Cold
War.” |
