Demo against the US missile shield at the White House

There was a lively radar base in the Czech Republic on the occasion of the visit by Prime Minister Mirek Topolánek to meet with President George Bush. The organizers from Campaign for Peace and Democracy and the Institute for Policy Studies were joined by a spirited contingent from Code Pink as well as people from Maryknoll, Catholic Worker, and the Washington Peace Center. Some press showed up, including a documentary film crew from the Czech Republic.

Here's a quick video that Erik Leaver of the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) put together and posted to Youtube:

John Feffer, Co-Director of Foreign Policy In Focus (www.fpif.org) at IPS, worked hard to help put the demonstration together!

A similar demonstration will take place when the Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk visits the White House on March 10th.
