There's a slang word in English that is derived from an old Latin term for Bulgarian. It makes you wonder what those old-time Bulgarians were getting up to. Leave it to the Romans to blame it on someone else!

You're not suggesting that we take into account Warsaw Pact achievements and applications when considering NATO membership, are you? I believe that 2004 decision was based on Bulgarian Engineering and Mine Sweeping capabilities which contributes to NATO's rapid reaction force and overall broader support (more troops). Bulgaria joining also meant a direct land link to Turkey.
And, just so you don't think I'm totally anal, this potentially NSFW Playboy magazine link is another reason I like Bulgaria and Bulgarians
