I’m torn here. On the one hand, I see a need for this defense system and am happy the people of Poland are with us. On the other hand, we weren’t too happy about USSR placing missiles in Cuba.

Bad comparison for two reasons.

1. The missiles in Cuba were offensive nuclear weapons. The missiles in Poland are non nuclear defensive weapons.

2. The USA is the force for good in the world. We do not seek to subjugate peoples and deny them their sovereignty. By putting the missiles in Poland any attack on them is an attack on our strategic interests thereby helping to insure Poland's freedom.

I still believe Clinton helped the Muslims steal Kosovo.

I still believe the taxpayers of the USA are not responsible for all the ills of this world.

‘Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely’ - This can even apply to the USA.

Staying out other peoples business is becoming harder and harder for the USA.
