I think it is also interesting to note that the three central european
states on the "fast-track" for NATO membership are also those which
historically had consistent ties and relations to the West: Poland
w/Prussia and France, and the Czech lands and Hungary being part of the
Austro-Hungarian Empire...

Strategic leverage could be gained if talks could start immediately
between  Poland, Hungary, Ukrain, and Czeck (et al) towards the
formation of a federal coalition between their sovereign countries.  

The idea is to form a  benvolent union which is much as had been 
formed to create the Republic of Poland in A.D. 1618; consisting of Poland,
Byeloruss, Lithuania, Prussia, and Livonians.  

It was an outstanding success resulting in a federation based on autonomy 
and freedom of all ethnic and religious groups.It was the world's first
democratic
republic and it was based on toleration and freedom of speech.

Each country would retain its own sovereignty and culture but all 
would unite into  federalism of military unity to meet the security 
and trade demands of the new millineum.

The object would be to retain a weak central 
government serving the member states.
To assure that the federal government thus formed would not eventually 
'take over' the example of the First Polish Republic could
be taken so that each country in the union would have veto power.

A unanimous decision seems unworkable but assures that the
central government will always be subject to the wishes of the
member states. The federal government would be set up to serve
the member states and a constitutional agreement would be enforced
to make it the duty of the federal government to keep it that way.
A unanimous vote also assures protection against frivolous laws.

The countries would meet in their own congress to vote on any matter
requiring attention.  Delegates would be elected to office in a senate/
representative arrangement with an elected president presiding and
a supreme court to preserve the intitial intent of the bonding consitution.


Plans like this would be met with opposition whereupon leverage could
be used to dismiss these plans if these countries are all accepted into
the NATO/EU  alliance.

Thus, these countries would merge into an alliance of friendship regardless
of method and would become masters of their own destiny.

Entry into NATO would be accepted with the understanding
that no option is ever surrendered to form a coalition of free nations
within the proposed unity.

I hope you agree that it would be much more difficult, possibly beyond 
their reach if not beyond their desire.

The ambition would be from both sides on the part of politicians who see 
ethnic hatred as a road to power. The inequality of alliances would make 
paranoia an all too plausible reaction. The negative consequences are clear.

Here I completely disagree. NATO membership implies that it is safe to invest.
I don't see major international money being put in any small country 
outside the NATO security umbrella. That, by itself, is a major 
benefit.
