>All I see here is a condemnation of the U.S. and a willingness to forgive Russia for any of the atrocities they have committed. What you don't want to see and what you don't want to understand is that Russia is moving *away* from being a peaceful, international partner. That is unfortunate. This country has extended every olive branch it could to Russia but it seems that Russia does what it wants to do. My hope is that when they overextend themselves, as it appears they will, we have to national will to stomp the living crap out of them as we are certainly capable of doing.

Nuke them in the name of democracy ?
What is it that they are doing, that US foreign policy does not practice ?
