What's up Lech?

Lech says he feel like I'm 18 again after his recent heart operation in Houston. The 64-year-old is full of energy, often waking up in the middle of the night feeling he could get straight to work. (Maybe it's just enlarged prostate that wakes him at 3AM).

Walesa, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983 and went on to be president from 1990 to 1995, is shortly to become Poland's representative on an "reflection group" of veterans tasked with producing a vision of the future for the European Union.

Note that Lech came to the USA for heart surgery, not a EU member nation where there is socialized / universal medicine. The reasons and debate should be posted on a political blog - not here.

Walesa also says the crackdown in Tibet is "bad and unwise" and is calling on the world to condemn it. "The world must say we don't agree with what is going on in China and with the Chinese government's crackdown on protesters. We must all fight for basic rights."

Wonder if Lech's family buys things made in China from Polish WalMart stores - nah.... He probably shows solidarity. (Ya think?)
