((Very few people mention the Kosovo-factor in all of this. Ms. Karpova has a point....we did in fact humiliate Russia during the Kosovo debate....payback hurts.)) ...... What’s wrong with destroying an environment for 4 billion years and generations after generations of people? After all, they’re just rag heads, aren’t they Mr. Bush? Perhaps when Russia even begins to match your tremendous feats of glory can you speak about pulling back you fool of the worst kind. You can also tell your number two man to shut up. Cheney said "Russian aggression must not go unanswered, and that its continuation would have serious consequences for its relations with the United States." So how do you plan to answer this erroneously termed “aggression”? He says this will “worsen” relations with the United States? Buddy, relations with the United States could hardly be any worse than they are now. The United States shows no respect for Russia. The United States shows no respect for any other country weaker than itself, much less a rival as you perceive Russia to be. How about your NATO? Today the west, tomorrow the world, eh? America uber alles! How about your missile shield breathing down the neck of the Russian nation? There to protect Europe from Iran? The most totally absurd thing that only a moron would believe. How about your deliberate breaking of your agreements regarding Serbian Kosovo? UN Resolution 1244 which your country agreed to, is the ink dry…you deliberately went against it and recognized Kosovo in total disregard and in violation of that agreement. And you expect your words to be heeded or even listened to? You are joking! It is said when Caligula went mad he heard laughing. Do you hear people laughing at you Mr. Bush?
