I think it's absolutely appropriate that the minister's last name is Sikorski....

There's something just right about it....

A a child of the "cold war" (World War III) era, the sight of an F-16 in Polish markings is like a peek through the door of the Twilight Zone. It's like seeing Batman wearing Joker makeup.
