I think you all know what I am saying here. At least they see it might be a hard decision to make and go ahead and make it in advance. Depends on the circumstances, I guess.

I'm assuming the president (Kwasniewski or whoever) and his reports would exercise a bit of common sense. It's harsh, but I think that in hindsight shooting down a few planes in this country would have been a good idea.

On the other hand, I think it's unlikely hijackers will attack Poland. They may have been instrumental in blocking the Caliphate's expansion hundreds of years ago, but they're bit players now.
