Though I wish the best to the US, I don't like Bush's foreign policy (or the US' foreign policy in general). Bush recently proposed building a missile defense system in Czech Republic with 10 interceptor missiles housed in Poland.
I love the positive spin US puts on its so called "missile defense" plans. I think use of the term "interceptor missile" is very deceptive. A missile system used for defense can also be used for an offensive move (I don't believe any statements to the contrary). The UN should condemn use of such crafty language. Even though everyone realizes this possibility, if this defensive term is used over and over, it would induce some false sense of security in Eastern Europe (like, "at last, the US is here to protect our stability" kind of attitude!).
The good thing is, Putin firmly said, NIMBY! If the US really wants to thwart any Iranian aggression, I wonder why didn't Bush consider Albania as the base for these so called interceptor missiles instead of Poland? Albania is closer to Iran than Poland, and Albanians (for some strange reason) loved Bush during his recent visit.
I wish that the US treats other countries with the respect they deserve. There is a large chunk of US population that really respects other countries, but their voices get suppressed by a small fraction with a bellicose predisposition, I think.
