>I think some people don't like the fact he has restored Russian back bone. You reap what you sow. We in the west didn't give the post USSR Ruissia a whole lot of positice help.

I do not know what do you mean, "a whole lot of positice help". Probably we need more information on how they in Russia actually used money and support they got from West when under Elzin. Do you know that they in Russia built another military space port (to launch military space devices) and in the very same time when Elzin was in power ? This is how they used that "positice help".
