"The Russian, Soviet state has never started a war." - Russian "President" Dmitry Medvedev.

I don't think that was any more of a Freudian slip than Dr. Dean's "white" comment the other day.

[BIGLOOK]

There was a comedy skit of a conversation between Ber trand Russell and G.E. Moore. It went like this....

Russell: "I see young Moore studying his lessons in the parlor. There's a basket of apples on the table before him. Let's see if I can catch him in a misstatement.....

(Russell enters the parlor)

Russell: "Moore!...Are there any apples in that basket?"

Moore: "No."

Russell (slightly peeved): "Moore!.....Are there some apples in that basket?"

Moore: "No."

Russell (becoming exasperated): "Moore!......Are there apples in that basket?"

To which Moore replied, "Yes."

Point....The Soviets have been behind every conflict since WWII and the Neo Sovs are actively prosescuting this one in Georgia and publically threatening Poland and the Baltic nations. With their support of the former Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein, Syria and Iran, they're behind the WOT also. Let's not parse words.
