John Paul ll kissed a Koran in Morocco. John Paul ll called every religion to pray together in Assisi in October 1986. This event followed the World Wildlife Fund meeting in Assisi in September 1986 where representatives of all religions met together for the sake of the dictatorship of eco humanist secularism.

NATO was not "expanded", but the figuratively raped by Russia countries of Poland, Romania, Hungary, the Baltic states WANTED to live in a stable, secure situation without having to always hope that no Dlugin-type of Eurasian madman (Dlugin thinks I.e that Poland should not exist) will ascend to the Russian throne. If Russia wasn't a despotic s...hole these countries would feel secure on their own. btw since when do Americans negotiate with terrorists, did I miss something?
