U.S.-Russia missile deal could be a setback for Czechs - International Herald Tribune

President Barack Obama's offer to Russia to halt the deployment of the U.S missile defense system in Eastern Europe in return for Russian help to prevent Iran from developing long-range weapons could be a serious setback for the Czech Republic's strategic interests, analysts said Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Poland, which reached an advantageous bargain with Washington in the event the missile defense system is not deployed, was more sanguine in its reaction to the U.S. offer.
