Wow.
Talk about opening pandora's box with this topic...
It maybe was one too much, starting another thread to argue about similar subjects found on other, "political" threads.
I was pretty pissed off at the time I learnt about the whole "send more troops in Spain's place" thing, especially when I found out it isn't mentioned even in the slightest way in our Polish e-portals. But, hey, there sure was a lot of info on Jacko and his new trials.

D) Yeah, which is why we raised a white flag on 9/11. Give me a break. Did you guys sit around and wait for Austria to be annexed by the Turks? No! You guys fought in one of the greatest defenses of Christiandom sense Las Novas de Tolosa, or hell maybe Tours. Now, when faced with a dozen dead, you guys are willing to run away. Riiiiighhhhhtttttt.
What I'm saying is that Poland isn't a superpower as it was then. It doesn't have the infrastructure to deal with any kind of terrorist attack, materially it hasn't got the resources to deal with it; hospitals have probably the lowest standard of all the new EU candidates/members.
Therefore, I found it profoundly stupid to boast one's strength and loyalty, demanding to be in the same place as a country struck with terrorist attacks. There wasn't any califate of Cracow, but still this country is in a leading position in the coalition's forces and in a theoretical "terrorist's enemy list".
Iit's obviously weaker than the US, the UK or even Italy, making it a perfect target.
On another note, did any of you guys watch "the city df lost children"?
