Poland -- No Longer an American Trojan Donkey in Europe?

Check this out: Poland's Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski says that the deployment of an anti-ballistic missile shield is "an American, not a Polish project" and that Poland can't accept it "until all costs and risks are considered," adding, "We feel no threat from Iran" (Judy Dempsey, "Poland Signals a Shift on U.S. Missile Shield," International Herald Tribune, 6 January 2008). Poland -- no longer an American Trojan donkey in Europe?

Yoshie;
Take a look at this http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-ghosts_hundleyjan08,1,4260286.story?ctrack=1&cset=true Don't confuse "independence" with haggling over the price of collaboration, which also seems to be the case w/ Iran.

At any rate, any US-made anti-missile missile system won't be very reliable or accurate. So if Poles want it, it's because it's money and jobs--or so they think.
