Poland's striker Maciej Zurawski.
Amazingly, I keep discovering the odd positive note buried under all this World Cup brouhaha. Tonight, a friend and Polish patriot told me that the logo on the Polish team's jerseys stands for Poland's mighty Winged Hussars who sent the Turks flying at Vienna in 1683.
Why haven't we been informed? This could harm the religious sensitivities of Muslims! They might not like us anymore! Does the FIFA know? The United Nations? Amnesty International? PETA? ISM? NOW? Cindy Sheehan? Robert Fisk? The BBC? christenundmuslime.at who find sharing "a mutual historical experience ... enriching"?
Which it was. For us, because Rüdiger von Starhemberg, Duke Charles of Lorraine, Prince Schwarzenberg, Prince Eugen of Savoy, King Jan Sobieski of Poland and many more valiant Catholics managed to save our Western culture and values for another 320-odd years, for the Muslims because they learned that one gets one's arse kicked if one gets uppity. Broadening one's horizon or learning about one's own limitations is always enriching.
Sadly, the enriching effect has become a bit threadbare in the meantime, but, incurable optimistic that I am, little things like that let me hope.
