News / Some Poles burning American flag [299]
Poles are very pro-US. I don't know so much about the Poles in Poland but where I live, the Polish community is very Pro-US. In fact the natives here (in South Africa) are at best neutral towards the US and at worst support Arab extremists (we have at least one grouping here which is allied with terrorist groups and is on the State Dept. list of
terrorist groups). I don't believe that most Poles would burn the US flag, in fact the people who burned that flag may not even have been Poles but anti-globalisation protesters (usually of continental Western European descent) who burned the flag
in response to GWB's visit to Poland/ABM shield/CIA prison camps etc. Most Poles love America (or at least prefer it to other nations), since we don't like
German and Russia so much, we like Great Britain and the US.
If anything some Americans would be afraid of illegal Polish aliens. However Poland is not a security threat to the US the way Britain, Germany and Spain are. Poland has a homogenous mostly Christian population without too many foreign permanent residents, especially from countries whose citizens have been involved in anti-US/anti-Israeli activities.

I doubt most Americans are Polonophobic as
