U.S. President George W. Bush (news - web sites) arrives at Krakow-Balice International Airport aboard Air Force One on May 30, 2003.

'By waging this fight together we will speed the day of final victory,' Bush said on the first stop of a week-long, six-nation trip that will bring him face-to-face with leading opponents of the war in Europe and on to the Middle East.

How long until the DemocRATS start whining that the visit to the concentration camp was staged for the benefit of the 2004 campaign?

I would expect the Dems to complain about the US Marine I saw in one of the photos.

My signature block not withstanding, I would rather trust W's life to ONE unarmed US MARINE than 100 armed French or German police officers.

It is great to see an American president visiting Poland as an ally. Who would have guessed it 30 years ago?

I had heard that Nazi officers allowed their children to shoot Jewish prisoners.....they needed the target practice!! It sickens me.

I hope they do. They keep complaining about stuff that only makes Bush seem even better. I think it's great that he holds the Poles to higher esteem than the Krauts or Frogs.

Both of my kids have toured Anne Frank's house in Amsterdam. Both said that experience made them very angry with Germans. It is impossible to understand how their society allowed the slaughter of millions to happen. Poor Bush, he probably won't relish shaking Shroeder's hand anymore than Chirac's tomorrow!

Great Pics.

Poland is free thanks to Pope John Paul II, President Ronald W. Reagan and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

Wonderful pics. George and Laura are great ambassadors for our country.

May I recommend the DVD "The Pianist" starring Adrian Brody. Very moving story about humans helping other humans during the Holocaust. The film showed a number of Poles helping to hide the Jewish pianist.

Maybe our great-grandchildren will feel the same way when they tour our houses, too.
