Tough decisions? Poland belongs to NATO. Poland will likely join the EU. The only tough decisons will be made in Old Europe. I fail to understand this "one or the other" mentality.

I've said it before. IMO joining the EU is a mistake for any country that has only recently shaken the shackles of communism.

Some countries have rejected the Economic and Monetary Union, notably UK, Denmark and Sweden, while joining the EU. Some are only candidates that must decide on both the EU and the euro currency.

Poland is in NATO. The EU will only pressure Poland to toe the line of EuroDefense. I'm sure Poland is up to the task but why encourage it when you can reject the EU outright?
