Funny since Berlin and Paris has little romance with Putin and China.

Well if you disapprove of this, then you should have no problem swearing your allegiance to a Free, Independent and Sovereign Poland. So what's the catch?

Like for example Lukashenko? Really nice and very democratic.

Yes, about as democratic as the 300+ page EU unConstitution you're about to be a member of. But who needs a sovereign, free Poland, it'll be better off as a support province for Old Europe.

No offense Mr A. Pole, but I hope that you will never get a Polish citizenship

An EU parliment, a politiburo, a commission, a Reichstag- whatever to call such a position.

But do we really have to call such a system democracy anymore?

Aha, and Rome under Julius Caesar was a republic too. By name

Well, you should know, you'll be a province of Rome as soon as the EU unConstitution is passed.

This is Alexander Lukashenko Belarusian dictator, Putin’s puppet. He is on Condi’s new axis of evil. He is well known from his anti-American comments and statements. Generally, complete idiot.

This is a very wise leaser of Belarus, who also loves democracy.

Well, your view of what is happening in Russia is essentially correct in that it is a complete dictatorship. However, it is not exactly Communism. What it is is, rule by the KGB. Under Communism, the KGB was an organ of the gov't. Now it is the gov't.

This might be better for the Russian people, as there is an element of partially free enterpise and somewhat moer prosperity. However, it may turn out to be worse for the US than communism was. Espeically since Russia seems to have "officially disengaged" itself from the terrorism it created---a terrorism that it used to keep off US soil for fear of retailation from the US. A terrorism that has now morphed into something caused by "Islamic" ideals instead of "socialist" ideals, but that seems much the same to me. A terrirism supported by Iran, which Russia is helping to develope nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missles (see the front page of today's Wall Street Journal (3-18-05), "As Evidence Grows of Iran's Program, US Hits Quandry" about how Iran's missiles are being designed to hold nuclear warheads.


from Iran's Nuclear Option, Casemate, 2005, Al J. Venter, p. 306:

"Moscow continues to deny vehemently all direct U.S. accusations of government-sponsored nuclear and missile transfers to Iran that would be in violation of its international nonproliferation obligations. These assurances by Russia have, however, been repeatedly questioned.

"Further arguments appeared when reports surfaced in early 1998 that the Russian FSB was in fact coordinating clandestine missile technology transfers to the Iranians---allegations denied by Russian officials...Moscow has always declared that no infringements of the MCTR have been committed, but did admit the existence of 'individual contacts' between Iranian and Russian entities."

(I can give a footnote on above quote, on request.)

You do realize, we created the Islamic terrorists, who or what do you think the Muhadjin were in Afghanistan? Bin Ladin and company got their training there. We ignored what the Arabs like the House of Saud did because it was directed at the Soviets. Well now we have the definition of blowback.
