Good for Czechs to oppose to US rocket bases

The news has just reached Bulgaria. The US wants rocket bases in the Czech Republic and Poland and has sent official requests to the governments of the two countries. They would serve as a shield against attacks from the Middle East.
The good news here is the reaction in The Czech Republic - many protests against the bases. Hopefully, the same is heard from Poland.
I truly understand the desire for control over the world which is rooted in the minds of the US officials. Europe doesn't need protection by opening rocket bases. Defense actions when there are no official threads is the worst strategy. The collective negative image of the "West" could be a good reason for attacks, but don't we make the things worse as we install expensive equipment? Don't we trigger the hatred by ourselves???

Hello :) I'm Chico ex MC CR and UAE. I just got randomly on your blog...well - it is nice to protest, the question is, if this will have any effect...but it is nice to see people asking for their rights. Sad is, that it doesnt come from goverment - there are usual people calling for some action.

Hi, Chico! Nice to hear from you :)
Your words sound familiar to me: I guess all governments are all the same. The bulgarian one is not an exception. Where power is involved, people forget about moral and values. I'm an optimist though because it's not the ordinary people who want this.
You've been in the Middle East - what is the perspective of ordinary people there?
