Yes, I agree... Putin is no Blair... but at least Putin is coming round to our way of thinking... the Cold War is over, and in return for Russia supporting our wars, we will support Russia's war against the Chechnyan terrorists... By bringing the Russians and the Indians over to our side, and by backing them in their wars against Islamic Terrorism, we have much to gain strategically...
candletrader: `Putin is coming round to our way of thinking´ wishful/simplistic thinking. no Russian president will ever`come round to our [american] way of thinking´. with the exception of a tendency to extreme violence Russians and Americans have absolutely nothing in common, and they never will in the foreseeable future.
candletrader: `Well if the reds give us problems, we'll nuke em!´ Russia is the only power able to annihilate America with a simple push of a button.
Once we have taken Iraq, do you think it would be a good idea to create a permanent homeland for the Palestinians in north Iraq? This idea would help to reduce terrorism in Israel... maybe we can give the Palestinians who relocate to Iraq jobs in oilfields, pumping oil for our American oil companies... God Bless America and Israel... united, they will defeat global terror!
