Another Allied Leader Retains Office
Nastrovia

Ron Peacock
Warsaw, Poland (PN)


On Oct. 15th, Prime Minister Marek Belka's 5-month-old goverment won a second vote of confidence in the Polish Parliament. Poland, a member of the 'coalition of the willing', has continued to be a strong supporter of the United States and the international 'war on terror'

In the wake of rampant corruption and the eventual resignation of former stalinist hardliner, Leszek Miller, Mr. Belka is turning Poland's flailing economy around. In his short five months as Prime Minister, Belka has slowed inflation, reduced unemployment, expanded the economy and strengthened the Polish zloty against both the Euro and US dollar.

Prime Minister Belka has pledged that Polish military forces will remain in Iraq until they "achieve our mission's goal: To return Iraq to the Iraqi people and give security to the world". Belka also affirmed the coalition's policy that forces would not remain in Iraq "an hour longer than reason dictates."

This is good news for Iraq and the United States. With the Iraqi elections scheduled to be held in January 2005, this is no time for the liberators of Iraq to waiver. So we thank Mr. Belka for his support and raise our glasses in toast to his parliamentary victory. Nastrovia Mr. Belka, nastrovia!
