    Obama Kills Missile Defense for Poland and Czech Republic
    East Europe: Rancor, relief on missile shield plan - Yahoo! News

    Nobody in Europe wanted this non-working "shield", not even the people of Poland and the Czech Republic. Another money-pit eliminated. Well done.

    Scrapping missile defense comes as a huge setback to many Polish and Czech leaders, who viewed it as a way to strengthen their military ties with the U.S. as a form of defense against a resurgent Russia.
    Fears of Moscow run especially deep in Poland, highlighted by a key anniversary Thursday. Exactly 70 years ago — on Sept. 17, 1939 — Poland was invaded by the Soviet Union at the start of World War II.
