    if macacas like estonia, latvia, georgia and poland are an obstacle to normal relations between Russia and Europe or between Russia and US - let's put macacas in the zoo but not into NATO.

    Possibly Bush's era of American imperialism is getting the bum's rush. We are not popular in the world. Bush has accomplished that much.

    Look at the our record in the past eight years. We invaded Iraq, a first for the US. Torture and rendition became accepted US methods. We then staged the mother of all financial collapses. We cannot even identify all the money deals. We have given the world hedge funds, derivatives, credit swaps, sub-prime mortgages and today we cannot tell anyone the value of this "stuff."
    Small wonder a lot of people would like to kick us of the planet.

    We seem to enjoy self deceit so much to my utter surprise. Let's be honest with ourselves, things have really changed and it has to do with how we managed success, maybe we should brace up for failure now.

    Russia definitely must provide to American companies immidiate access to all its oil and gas deposits and reduce the price of oil and gas. Its second step must be contrition for all the evil it did by just its existence on the map in such borders, for its impudence to threat America (!) with its devilish missiles and for that Russia must officially declare itself a groundless state and became American Protectorate. For that I believe God will someday forgive Russia for putting America to the current edge.

    So..... explain to me again how the Russians need to be tamed.... Cause I definitely don't see an reason, just seems like they are the only ones standing up for themselves nowadays.

    I guess the thinking is: "Oh, the Russians aren't doing what the US says.... they must be evil" and that.... would be one of the most idiotic reasons I would have ever heard

    Bush is trying to blame Russia and others for his destruction and crimes to our country and others while he has sit in an office illegally which was stolen...
    Bush has spread his hate and destruction all around this world in just 8 years...
    When Clinton left office in 2000 we were respected and likes all around the world and now it is only our paid countries in which we have friends anymore and that number is very small..
