As of lately, the Slovenian foregin minister expressed support to the

USA for the war on Iraq. 



This fired massive reactions from the relatively pacifist people of

Slovenia, for who the war on Iraq (or any country for that matter) is

the last thing on their minds. 



It was suggested the foregin minister simply expressed his personal

oppinion and Clearly not the one of all the rest of the Slovenian

people. These suggestions went all the way up to the government where

the response to the public was that, quote "Our supporting for the war

in Iraq is our only chance to join the EU and NATO" unqote.



Our government (position AND opposition) has been keeping up a long

campaign over the recent months, to convince the people that joining

NATO is a good idea (even very crude methods were used in this,

including public threats), against any and all public interests.

Luckily, a referendum was issued and due to the recent devolopments in

Slovenia's foregin policy (which is supposed to be part of the

campaign), public support for NATO is falling dramaticaly.



As of recently, even the national television station (that the

opposition supposed was controled by the government) displayed the

recent devolopments as pathetic short-lived and short-minded kissass

attempts of the government, completely unsupported by public oppinion.



I suppose some public and media interest to the matter from the EU,

especialy on the quoted matter, would help democracy in Slovenia out of

it's current crashing state.



P.S.: I guess we will send our government to Iraq on the next plane

otherwise, because nobody else will want part in that stupid war.
