Majority Opposed to Missile Defense Shield

A survey conducted on a random representative national sample of 903 adult Poles June 1-4, shows a majority are opposed to the proposed Missile Defense Shield to be located in Poland.

60 % oppose plans by the United States to locate 10 anti-ballistic missile silos in Poland as part of a missile defence shield against possible future nuclear terror
attacks by so-called rogue states like Iran and North Korea.

Warsaw-based CBOS pollsters also found 26 % support the plan, which US President Bush and Polish President Lech Kaczynski are expected to discuss in Washington DC in mid-July.

Opposition to the project grew by five per cent since February and appears to be rooted in fears sparked by Russian threats to point its missiles at Europe should nearby Poland host the US missile shield.
