I don't like the idea of escalating on these things.
Yeah, who gives a flying f**k about those pesky Pollocks, Romanians or Bulgarians?
If the end result is that no one can travel between any EU county and the US visa-free, I don't see what you'll have gained.
This is something that could be resolved easily through negotiation, if only there was a sane administration this side of the Atlantic. One can only hope this will be the case again some day.
I know, but I'd still like to point out I despise being treated like a "second class European", while you guys are obviously "first class" ones.
We had "sane" administration that seen no need to touch this.
