Is Poland Ready To Be Attacked From Within?
Posted 6 November, 2005
Is Poland ready? And more than that, is Poland thinking about getting ready to handle the attack from within?
France is burning, There are riots in Denmark. And Poland is adrift while a new government that is floating in its pool of new found power and pride for having won the elections and gotten into position where it can carry out its long standing vendetta against former communists.
As first steps in forming the new government, the new ruling party is focusing on decapitating the police and intelligence services. Changes have been swift. Publicity and gloating have been high. The question is, has this distracted the affected agencies so that the people still left are spending more time trying to preserve their jobs rather than watching what is happening in the country.
The recent bomb scare in the center of Warsaw is a case in point. Eleven bombs (inactive, but professionally done dummies) were placed in different locations in Warsaw and the police notified. The bombs were found, a picture of a man involved in the plot was found on a security camera but that is that.
The man has not been found. The professionally made bomb dummies have not lead to any sources of the parts used to make them and that, in turn, has not lead to any information about any buyer of those parts.
If the Polish security services and Polish police cannot solve this case where they have the picture of a man and undamaged "bombs", what are they going to do if they don't have a picture and have nothing but the remnants of exploded bomb and body parts?
The new Polish government may not be inclined to keep Polish troops in Iraq. So it may make sense to some that this is the time to bomb Warsaw much like Madrid was bombed. Someone might think that such a bombing may cause Poland to immediately withdraw its troops from Iraq.
And the new Polish government really has not been very helpful in discouraging this idea. They have pronounced that they will be examining their policy towards Iraq. What a way to give someone the idea that they might be able to influence the policy through a bombing. The Polish government might have been smarter to say that we are staying in Iraq for the foreseeable future with the full intent of changing what is the foreseeable future when it is most convenient to change.
Let us hope that we and many of the people on the street are wrong. Poland is now in a changing of the guard which is traditionally a time to attack. But what is worse yet, the new guard is looking for old communists and not new terrorists.
