The Reagan Legacy.

More and more allies! Gee, we may not have to go it along! (duh)

[goldylight]

Thats for sure!

[areafiftyone]

Exactly. Countries who appreciate the United States liberating them unlike the ungreatful Frogs and Krauts who are only interested in dominating all of Europe.

Let's give the Eastern Europeans some credit. Unlike their Western brethren, they fought for their liberation. Solidarnosc in Poland, the brave Lithuanians who stood up to Gorby's Vilnius Massacre, the Czechs in Wencelas Square, and the Romanians who finally stood up to Ceaucescu. They didn't wait for the Americans to be on the outskirts to start fighting.

The Vilnius 10, a group of nations set up in 2000 to seek NATO membership, includes the seven new alliance members Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia, as well as hopefuls Albania, Croatia and Macedonia.

Like some sort of surreal, high-tech Western. The hero goes it alone against the forces of evil. At the last minute, the townsfolk rally.

Thank you, President Reagan, for making allies of our enemies. Let us pray that in the next go-round, our new-enemies-turned-friends, Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan clamor to support us too.

Looks like things are going to move rapidly...

"If Saddam does not disarm, we will lead a coalition to disarm him."

Of course, probably not enough of a coalition for the peaceniks. Somehow they think the entire world hates us. Heh.

I was just thinking the same thing. Wouldn't it be nice if we were talking about a Bush legacy in 15 years or so? (hopefully not under crisis situations, however)

No problem here! These countries are going out of their way for us. They are true friends.

Don't expect to see this posted at DU.

Remember our wonderful President speaking in Vilnius and in Bucharest last yaer? It was after the NATO meeting when the USA recommended the addition of several of the eastern Euro countries to NATO. The people were soooo happy to greet George and Laura!

That's a really good analogy.

I've always liked the movie "High Noon," but I also see the point of those who call it anti-American. In real America, ordinary people stand up to evil. And the American spirit of decency and bravery is shining in more and more other parts of the world also.

Thank you, President Reagan.

Yes, I also agree that Reagan deserves a lot of credit to this.

Great post.

Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia, as well as hopefuls Albania, Croatia and Macedonia.

No offense to these countries whatsoever, but whenever I hear these names I kinda think of the Marx's Brothers movie Duck Soup about the country called Freedonia - Maybe I need some more meds!!

It must be tough for Poles and other "East Europeans" to hear the dictator butt-kissing Chirac and Schroeder cutting down the US.

[colorado tanker]

Well, the Axis of Weasels can always count on Luxembourg.

[elhombrelibre]

HA, not much of a trade. Someone total the population of those ten countries and then add in the other eight on our side. Your getting a lot of people together now.
