Barack Obama arrives in Poland as it seeks to improve Russia ties(telegraph)

At a dinner for 22 regional central and eastern European heads of state, Mr Obama was expected to underline his commitment to a mobile missile defence system that Poland, Romania, Slovakia and the Czech Republic have volunteered to host.The Polish government was also looking forward to confirmation from the president that a number of US air force F-16 fighter jets would be stationed on their soil, at Wloclawek in central Poland, though Washington has ruled out the two squadrons requested.

The underlying aim of the trip was to strengthen his administration's ties with Europe, after criticism that during his first two years in office he had tended to ignore old friends at the expense of reaching out to the Muslim world and China.
I'm surprised at Poland accepting US air force. Since Poland was a part of communist states 21 years ago, we can say that it symbolizes the defeat of communists.


By the way, although Mr Obama may have reached out to the Muslim world, discrimination directed for muslims is serious in United States. For example, homeowner living next to a newly opened mosque posted the sign "Bomb Making Next Driveway" the other day. The article related to this is shown below.

I think it is out of humanity to discriminate people on the basis of their stereotype.
