"The word "freedom" in Poland still has a stronger meaning than in the rest of the European Union."
I am afraid that this is very true. Your country has a such big potential to bring into Europe. Maybe the strong polish will to be free will give Europe the intellectual kick to develop again into something more than just a economic union. It is quite clear, that you have to keep your interests - everybody would -, but it would be wonderful if your friendship would not be limited to America.
We need our sisters and brothers from free Poland!
... Somebody from "old" Europe! ...
Also, did they choose US fighters over the Eurofighter?
