Why the hell are we protecting Poland?
The United States and Poland on Wednesday signed an agreement to base U.S. ballistic missile interceptors in Poland, a move that angered Russia.

Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski and U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice signed the deal and hailed it as a breakthrough in international cooperation. They said the missiles would be used only for defense.
And then there's this:
Russia has warned that a US-Polish missile defence deal creates a new arms race in Europe and beyond.

A foreign ministry statement said that Moscow "will be forced to react, and not only through diplomatic demarches". It did not elaborate.
I'm so sick of re-runs. Isn't Poland tired of being the tinder of world wars where tens of millions of people die? Is the United States tired of adding fuel to the fire of Europe's bickering?
