Reader feedback: Troops out

Re: Bomb hits Slovak embassy, Volume 11, Number 24, June 20-June 26, 2005

Slovakia should withdraw its troops from Iraq. NATO membership itself has brought no benefit to the ordinary people of Slovakia and to participate in such a war can only expose it to unnecessary danger.

NATO itself has lost its purpose with the end of the Cold War, except as a tool of reckless and aggressive US expansionism.

Slovakia should not act as a satellite of the US but try to assert an independent stance. The illegality and dubious ethics of this conflict aside, what economic interests does Slovakia have there?

"Do ľava," (to the left) I yelled, "Nie, do prava" (no, to the right), I gasped. "Dolšie," I screamed. "Nie, nie, horšie..." My Slovak girlfriend collapsed in laughter. Was it something I said?
