Can you blame them with Bush expanding missile defense into Eastern Europe?
I'm more concerned with half of my taxes going to Military spending (737 bases in 130 countries and Contacts for unneeded weapons from Lockheed-Martin, General Dynamics, Raytheon, Boeing, G.E., Northrop Gruman) here in the U.S.
The U.S. spends more on Military than the rest of planet Earth combined.

I think it was right for Russia and only Russia. The people of that nation seem to be afraid to be seen as weak in any way. They don't realize that while they have had a troubled past that we're not out to get them. Nobody's out to get them, we just want to live without fear.
