You sound like the Europeans in the 1930s. Why should we appease the Russians while they swallow Georgia and then move on to Poland, the Baltics, and Ukraine? Not happening. Moreover, Poland is a member of NATO, by treaty we are obliged to defend them. They are no longer in the Russian sphere of influence, that is why they joined NATO. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:266309 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
