list
Which list. The one with condolences or the one with national mourning?
othing's forgotten friends, nothing's forgotten.
Does that mean that Poland isn't a friend of Macedonia when they lost their president? Not a friend of America after Oklahoma City and 9/11? No friend of the countries affected by the Tsunami in 2004? No friend of Rwanda? Not a friend of Russia after all the terrorist attacks? Haiti, Bangladesh, Pakistan, China?
[cbc.ca/canada/toronto/story/2010/04/15/canada-poland-day-mourning.html] - Official day of mourning in Canada is today.
Prime Minister Harper will be attending a mass at St. Maximillian Kolbe church in Mississauga at 6 pm, along with the Archbishop of Toronto.

Look - what I meant is that some countries traditionally considered hostile towards
Poland are on the list of those who announced official national mourning days, whilst
some of those whom we traditionally considered friends are absent on the list.
You are drawing...
So are you saying either have official mourning days or you are no friend of Poland?
...too strong conclusions from what I've said.

Another man who likes to overinterpretate people's words. *rolls eyes*

They're not on the list, but they announced it (I posted links in another thread).

That's what it seems like.
The list pgtx has posted seems pretty expansive to me, even Iran is on there.
Today is National Mourning in honor to Polish president and governing stuff, in Serbia. Its realy sad. People expected resurgent Poland to support Serbia and now this happened.

maybe it is good to look at WHO is on the list, not who isn't. just 2 cents.

Well, at least you ARE there. That really gave a lot of Poles something to think about.
Germany - NIEMCY, announcing the official day of mourning to commemorate Polish
president. You may have achieved more by that than by years of other political efforts.

You must have missed that bit from my original post, Aphro:
as well as the surprising presence of some countries on it

No
Would you say that the response of the UK, France and the US (plus a few others ) is not enough and that they should do more than offer their condolences/respects?

I know i just used your German bit.

Ahem!
While being driven in a car through the streets along with French Foreign Minister Louis Barthou, a gunman, Vlado Chernozemski, stepped from the street and shot the King and the chauffeur. Barthou was accidentally shot by a French policeman and died later.

Yup, no day of mourning for this one!

No. But I would say that the response of Germany, for example, is more than the response
of France and, traditionally, we Poles - would expect the opposite situation.
But I guess times change, traditions change and we have to draw conclusions from what
we see, and maybe (JUST MAYBE) Germany is treating Poland more seriously than France
does. And, maybe (just maybe), the relations with Poland are more important to Germany
than to France?
Gee, I don't know... just wondering...

just scanned the comment section rather then the article itself and was a bit shocked that people argue about anything really;)
Much like this place, in many respects.

Of course. When you look at the connection between Germany and Poland (good and bad), it's way tighter than the connection to France. Always has been.
Declaring the mourning day we again showed our friendship to Lehistan like in the history.
And our president will atend the funeral.
I hope all Poles will be aware of it. Because Turks always do.
