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.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

I wonder if Bobby Bryd will open his fat mouth again on the Senate Floor??
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.
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.
