BMD Watch: Europeans want BMD too (while bashing the US)
Many of Europe's governments may be skeptical about America's ambitious ballistic missile defense development program but their publics are not, A new sponsored by advocates of BMD found that more than two-thirds of Europeans want NATO to deploy such systems to protect them. Some 71 percent of Europeans favor the deployment of a NATO missile defense capability able to protect the continent from attack by missiles bearing weapons of mass destruction, according to a poll that was jointly sponsored by the George C. Marshall Center for Security Studies and Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance, the two organizations announced in Rome last week. By contrast, only 16 percent think that NATO should not have this capability. Posted by: Captain America 2005-09-14 |
