#3 The Polish national motto is "Za wasza wolnosc i nasza!"("For your freedom and ours"). Tells you all you need to know.

#4 Things like this make me very embarassed at all the Polish jokes I laughed at as a child. Everything I've experienced as an adult, from facing the Poles as adversaries during the Cold War to watching them perform as a free nation post-Solidarity, makes me respect them as warriors, as a nation, and as a people. God bless Poland and Poles everywhere.

#6 There is still one Polish joke left: "Eventually the EU will be dominated by a two-country coalition, which will be the economic powerhouse of Europe, the center of governance of Europe, and the military might of Europe. Those two countries will be Germany and Poland."

#7 The Poles know they are caught between decadent Old Europe and degenerate Russia with the Balkans not too far below. The want true friends in the worst way. We need to really mean it this time and not treat them like the Brits and the frogs did in 39. Start building bases. Big time. Not one American in Germany, France or Belgium. NATO HQ to Warsaw or out of NATO.

#8 Spot on, Mrs. Davis.

I'm still eagerly awaiting our mass exodus OUT of Germany, and then having the Germans complain about us UN-INVADING them!!

#9 The Polish were at one time one of the major nations and while it has been many years, I think they will be once again. The US and it's true allies should work to bring Poland into our circle reward their steadfast friendship and assistance as it deserves. We are lucky in a way that our former mayor of Knoxville was tapped by President Bush to be our Ambassador to Poland so we sometimes get to read about him and Poland in the local paper.

#10 As a Polish-Canadian, all I can say is...be weary. Poland is always a step away from being another Spain.
