I've heard Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and yes, I'd heard about their tiff w/Cuba too. Why not offer those countries an alternative to the socialist EU? We could use the extra pro-freedom voters.
Some of the things I noticed in Prague that were indicative of the spirit of freedom and prosperity:
Everyone smokes
There is a tobacco counter in one of the department stores selling cigarettes, cigars, pipes, tobacco, and hash pipes.
Everyone has a nice car and a cell phone
Everyone has a fancy pedigreed dog
There are restaurants of all types - Mexican, Italian, Asian, Indian, etc. In fact, we were hard pressed to find a Czech restaurant.
Every building was sprouting satellite dishes.
