The cry of the dehumanized slave:� "NATO reckons with the Czechs, the Poles and the Hungarians like with anyone else. There is no difference in approach or behaviour. It is us who sometimes suffer from a certain complex, believing that we are unable to manage it, and who tries to stay in the background, which is a mistake," Fialkova said. [Dulce et decorum est...to die for someone else's country. To catch a bullet in the Balkans. Set up bath houses in Afghanistan for one's 'anyone else' NATO superiors. To dispatch atomic-biological-chemical warfare first line cannon fodder to Kuwait. Of course the same diminished, humiliating, deadly roles were reserved for Slavic and Magyar 'Untermenschen' in Operation Barbarossa in June of 1941.] Czechs, Poles, Hungarians celebrate three years in NATO � CTK - 12.3. ���BRUSSELS, March 12 (CTK) - Army representatives of the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary marked today's third anniversary of their countries' NATO entry by giving a reception in the NATO headquarters in Brussels for their colleagues from the Alliance's "original" 16 countries. ���The Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland were invited to enter NATO at its summit in Madrid in 1997, and they were admitted after two years of entry negotiations, on March 12, 1999. Shortly afterwards, NATO started a military campaign against Yugoslavia in connection with President Slobodan Milosevic's policy towards the province of Kosovo. ���"We have to get accustomed to our duties of a member very quickly, within a few weeks, as the war was underway and there was no time to get accustomed (gradually)," says Katerina Fialkova, who is currently deputy director of the NATO general secretary's cabinet. ���She said it seemed to her that the original NATO members had already got accustomed to the newcomers, whose feeling as beginners had disappeared a long time ago. ���"NATO reckons with the Czechs, the Poles and the Hungarians like with anyone else. There is no difference in approach or behaviour. It is us who sometimes suffer from a certain complex, believing that we are unable to manage it, and who tries to stay in the background, which is a mistake," Fialkova said. ���She said the Czech Republic should more learn from comparable countries, as it logically cannot aspire to the preformance of big states. The Czechs could achieve an exclusive position in a few areas, she added. ���"For example, the Danes and the Dutch are perfect in this. We, too, have things to rely on. In anti-chemical defence, for instance, we've shown that we can offer an additional value, something what the others do not possess," Fialkova said. ���At the same time it is necessary to see to the Czech Army being reformed as a whole, she said. ���After three years in NATO, the Czech Republic is in the limelight as the venue of the next NATO summit, which is expected to discuss the Alliance's further orientation and decide on the possible second wave of its enlargement eastwards. ���The summit is to take place in Prague in November. NATO Secretary General George Robertson will come to Prague next week to discuss preparations of the summit. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!
