I think before 1997 is over, NATO will have taken giant strides in what's called adaptation, the discussions about bringing the French fully into the NATO forces.

Sama Sa Usa Ka Suba
Ang kinabuhi kuno sama sa usa ka suba
Diin nato gihinay-hinay og hulog
Ang mga talulot sa atong mga bulak,
Hinay-hinay og kuyog sa dagan sa tubig
Hangtod nga layo na kini sa atong
Panglantaw, ug isunod nato paghatag
Ang atong mga dahon, hinay hinay lang
Gihapon nga atong ipaanod ug ang atong
Mga sanga ato usab nga ipiyal sa suba
Sa atong kinabuhi hangtod nga mahurot na
Ang tanan natong mahatag. Tan-awon nato
Atong bulsa kon duna pa ba kitay mahatag
Kay kon wala na, moabot na ang dili
Kapugngan. Ihatag na nato ang atong
Lawas, ug dayon ang atong kalag.
Kasagaran buot nato nga magpabilin
Apan dili kini mahimo. Anaa ang balaod
Sa suba ug sa mga talulot sa mga bulak.
Ipaanod ang tanan. Ang tanan gayod.
Atong iuli pinaagi sa pagpaanod.

Inig Takdol Sa Bulan
alang sa mga balakeros y balakeras)
inig takdol na gani sa bulan
ayaw og katingala nga dunay manubo
sa kilid sa atong mga bukobuko
dili nato ikaulaw ang atong kaliwat
dili kita nila mabasol sa atong pagkapak-an
gisunod lang nato ang ilang mga panaw
dili nato ikaulaw ang atong pagkawakwak
anad na kita nianang pagtukaw
anad na kita kon kita unya isalikway

NATO believes it can pick on a small nation and force us to surrender our independence. And that is where NATO miscalculated. You are not willing to sacrifice lives to achieve our surrender. But we are willing to die to defend our rights as an independent sovereign nation.

Goose Steps Up My Spine
millions starved to death:
missiles fired overhead.
sea games with seoul
under nato* control.
pyongyang power ill prince
trotting past mad troops.
when he stands in his suit
generals all about salute
and smirk.
quaint peasants in rows
step goose bumps up my arms
for as far as totems go
it's grim as stalin
and that pole has been climbed
*NATO

Agn Bikil Sa Atong Kinabuhi
mao nga kita mopiyong aron
magpadayag ang wala nato makita
sukad-sukad sa sulod
sa atong kasing-kasing
ug dayon ibuka nato
ang atong mga mata aron makita
pag-usab ang mga dayag
nga nakapabuta kanato
sa dugay na kaayong higayon
diha sa tunga sa kusog kaayo
nga sulog sa kahayag

Well, if the NATO countries don't make more of their troops usable and don't get the equipment to get them fast where the action is, then the organisation will suffer and will increasingly become irrelevant.

Sa Pagbalik Nato Dinhi
(hubad sa Iningles nga balak ni Mark Strand)
Nabuhat nato ang atong gusto.
Atong gibulabog ang mga damgo, gipalabi nato ang dagkong kakugi.
Ang matag usa kanato, naghangop sa kagul-anan
Ug atong gidapit ang kapildihon sama sa usa ka naandan nga dili maputol.
Ug karon ania kita dinhi.
Ang panihapon andam na ug dili ta mangaon.
Ang karne naglingkod sa tin-aw nga lanaw sa iyang sulaan.
Nagpaabot ang bino.
Pag-abot dinhi
Anaa ang ganti: kay walay gisaad, wala usa’y pagadalhon.
Wala tay kasingkasing o makaluwas nga kaambong,
Walay dapit nga kapaingnan, wala'y katarongan nga kita magpabilin.

Slovakia's joining the OECD in 1999 is totally dependent on meeting economic reforms required such as transparency and legislation that permits fair and open conduct of trade and business.
NATO and the EU have also agreed on permanent arrangements on consultation and cooperation between themselves.
