Missile Defence agreement sparks war of words
Yesterday's agreement between the US and the Czech Republic for radar sites for the US missile Defense system has sparked a serious response from Russia. If the agreement is ratified, "we will be forced to react not with diplomatic, but with military-technical methods," the Foreign Ministry statement said.Possible responses include targeting of ballestic missiles and deployment into the Baltic sea. Rather than producing 'security', missile defence coninues to provke insecurity and danger.
Missile Defense has always been a Team-Bush pet project - whilst Obama seems to 'flip-flopping' on Iraq lets hope he slam-dunks the missile shield.
