We will be happy to discuss within this the role of technology and its threat. The issue of governance in the 21st century in the context of the issues that Washington and Europe are having with 20th century Bureaucracy and the impact that is having on our future. As well as an optimistic view of the possibilities of Poland within the EU from a US perspective. A look at how 20th Century institutions in Washington are impacting our policy making, which in turn is impacting the strategic alliance between the US and Poland as well as Europe.  How do we start moving towards 21st Century solutions to the many challenges we face from China to Russia?  Or is it too late?  Is one possible outcome for Poland an opportunity to become the "Texas" of the EU and if so what must be done.
