Czechs Wary of U.S. Missile System

PRAGUE, Czech Republic -- Russia isn't alone in disliking the idea of
basing a U.S. missile defense system in the Czech Republic and
other countries on its doorstep.

Most Czechs aren't happy about the proposal, either. Recent polls
in this former Soviet satellite, now a democratic NATO ally, show
more than 60 percent of the public in opposition.

The White House has billed a speech Bush will deliver from the
local headquarters of Radio Free Europe on democracy as the
highlight of his visit here. His Czech counterparts have complaints
with Washington to discuss, such as a two-tiered visa system for
European nations that leaves their citizens out in the cold.

However, the international debate over the missile defense system
likely will drown out everything else during Bush's stay in Prague.
The U.S. plan calls for an anti-missile radar base to be built at the
Brdy military zone southwest of the capital.

3. They should hold a plebiscite.

Then the people can decide. I have no doubt they would reject it. And the two parties of the left would benefit greatly from it.
