Poland, which hosts a grateful U.S. president this weekend and holds a referendum to join the European Union a week later, is assuming a high-profile role in global affairs reminiscent of the days when it broke with the Soviet Union.

Don't do it Poland - The EU is a Franco/German trap. You've paid so much for freedom, don't give it away now!

Toni Blair's Socialist Labour Party is with the U.S. in foreign policy only. UK is a member of EU.

Unfortunately, Poland may be like UK.

Okay, you might know this:

Where do terms like "Franco" and "Sino" come from, and are there equivalents for other countries? I've tried to think of more, but I come up blank.

[Consort]

Sino, Russo, Italo, Franco, Anglo, Greco, Serbo, Turko.....Guano, Oregano, Yoko Ono....

I would happily contribute to Poland's economy if they would open a bunch of fast food joints across America featuring kielbasa on a rye roll with perogees on the side. Throw in some good Polish beer and I will propel Poland into a first world economy within a year.

[bruinbirdman]

I have a suspicion that Poland will give the EU plenty of grief like UK.
