U.S. Missile Defense Plan Still On

Defense Secretary Robert Gates Says U.S. Missile Defense plans are still on despite Russian objections. NATO has also announced that it accepts the Missile Shield for Europe (they are the typical lackeys for the U.S.).

But Do the People of Poland and the Czech Republic Accept it? No. Why Can't The People of Poland and the Czech Republic Vote on the matter? Why is the U.S. against allowing the people of those two countries to have their say at the ballot box?

I think the EU and the U.S. are being hypocritical. The U.S. is constantly touting Democracy in places like Albania, Georgia and the Ukraine....but then it turns around and prevents European citizens from having their say about a U.S. missile system being installed on their land. If this were allowed to go to a vote in these two countries, the plan would be soundly defeated....and European "leaders" know it.

I guess the same lack of Democracy that Americans experience here at home is being exported to Europe in this case.

Now we even have the N. Koreans responding to this missile defense plan.... Which could have a negative impact on the negotiations with that country. Negotiations have been held up by a "glitch" regarding the U.S. holding up its end of the deal.... unfreezing N. Korean funds. Everytime there is a breakthrough or near breakthrough in the N. Korea negotiations...there is always this convenient last minute "glitch" that pops up. I have written many times that the U.S. may not really want a negotiated solution regarding N. Korea. This would explain why the U.S. keeps sabotaging the "diplomacy".
