Thanks for posting this article.

I think that FReepers with any interest in traveling to Europe should avoid "Old Europe" and spend their tourist dollars in Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Czechoslovakia, all of which have proven to be better friends of America than the rest of Europe.

Of course, Britain is an island, and a good ally.

And for Orianna Falacci and Beurlesconi's sake I'll include Italy on the "friend" list.

OK, Spain, too. Their Prime minister is a conservative and has supported Dubya.

The rest have no honor and no sense of their own civilization.

Don't forget the Bosnian Muslims and the Kosovo Liberation Army.

Good allies to have in the war on terrorism, too.

Interesting. The Eastern block knows how to take orders and fall in line. It is a story of uniformity in both cases.

Friends of ours went to Poland to visit other friends they knew there and can't wait to go back. They loved it.
