I feel really safe here.
No need for the old folks to worry about their daughter fresh in the capital city of a former Communist country.
I’m in Warsaw, Poland: the land that will become the bridge to… now how did Donald Rumsfeld so eloquently put it? ah yes, “Old Europe” on May 1.
Poland is hosting the World Economic Forum’s European Economic Summit that comes just days before Poland – along with 9 other states – joins the European Union.
So there’s an impressive display of Polish muscle here to protect all the hot shots coming to take part. What all these heads of states, presidents, ministers of this and that will really achieve is to be seen (no doubt if anything meaty happens you’ll read it here first.) Actually, EU Enlargement might be the theme of the conference, but I think Iraq could still land up grabbing the headlines.
What is it about Iraq and the troubles there? So much military might and still no security. Is it the same on a micro level here in Warsaw? I hope not. I wanna sleep good tonight. Better call home……
