Russia removes Georgia Checkpoint

Removing the checkpoint near the town Gori in South Ossetia in Georgia by Russian army is the first important sign that Russia will really withdraw from Georgia’s territory by October 10th 2008.
The dramatic news of the war in Georgia in Asia shocked me and I suddenly I had a feeling of insecurity. I started to worry not only about the tragedy of people who live there but also about my own country, Poland. My home country is situated in the middle of Europe. It was and probably still is a very inconvenient area from the political and territorial point of view. Poland is surrounded by 7 countries. Russia was always the powerful one and demanding. France and Germany used to be as well, if we go to the history of XVIII- XX century. Other one are in the same position as Poland.
That’s why always one of the powerful countries had desire to rule all Europe and to attack the other super powerful country on the East or West side. But first they had to take possession of Polish territory and this way step by step, countr by country,seize the whole Europe. Poland went through too many painful moments in a history of Europe and in its as well. Therefore, NO MORE WARS!!! I would NOT wish any wars at all and especially in nearby places such as Georgia is.
When the war in Georgia started Poland as one of the first countries run immediately for help to Georgian people. Our politicians publically criticized the action of Russian army. This way Poland got in political conflict with Russia and our relations cooled down strongly. (Not mention that Poland, couple weeks before, signed agreement with USA to set National missile defense that would shield an entire country against incoming Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles. Russia expressed strong disapproval).
I hope that Russia finally will not think only about its benefits and power but is looking for peace and political agreement with other nations. And that I think means political progress.
