Condoleezza RiceDespite Russia’s displeasure with the missile defense deal between the U.S. and Poland, Poland’s citizens have a favorable opinion of the agreement, particularly in light of Russia’s invasion of Georgia.

According to the Associated Press, 58 percent of survey participants support the deal, while 37 percent said the deal is bad for Poland.

It’s no surprise that Russia considers the move a hostile one. The country “fiercely opposes the missile defense deal” and claims, rather unconvincingly, that the U.S. will use the system to target Russia. Last month, the U.S. agreed to install a missile radar system in the Czech Republic.

According to the AP, Radek Sikorski, Poland’s foreign minister, said NATO should take a stand on  Russia’s reponse to the agreement. Condoleezza Rice, U.S. Secretary of State, will sign the agreement in a ceremony on Wednesday.
