Let’s face it, who gives a damn about Poland? Oh, yes, to be sure, we went to war over Hitler’s invasion in 1939 but was that over Poland itself or was it because we had grown tired of Hitler’s aggression in Continental Europe? I don’t know but I’ll lay a bet on the latter.
When you examine Poland and its history, it’s fine – buildings, music and the rest and it would seem they have been a peaceful nation not threatening anybody. They even produced that marvellous Pope, John Paul II. I may be an atheist but I still saw this man as a great human being. And all the Poles I have ever met have been pleasant, cultured people.
Poland's problem is twofold. It lies between the great powers of Europe and it is a corridor over which those powers walk over to meet each other.
I have never been to Poland and I must someday for I think it would be good. But would I go to war again over Poland? I think not. And the same goes for Aberbaijan and the rest....
