True is 71% percent of Poles are against war in Iraq. Post-commie government of Poland is working very hard to remove visa requirement for Poles visiting US. No wonder, unemployment rate reached 21.2% but even 42,7% in the group 15-24 years old. In 2001 so many as 457.000 Poles emigrated from country.

Actually it's now 18,9 percent. http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/041022/eu_fin_eco_poland_jobless_1.html

And I don't think it's unemplyment rate that makes people like Kwasniewski and Walesa strive for removing visas. We already have problem because best educated young Poles are moving to other EU countries.

I met some Polish young people when I went to a casino in Wendover, Nevada a couple of weeks ago. All nice, polite, neat kids, who were working over here to pay for college expenses over there. They sure had one heck of a work ethic, that's for sure!
