Brilliant observation.
The fact remains that Russia is not an ally of the United States in the War on Terror. Russia's government has chosen the coward's way out, trying to buy peace from the enemy. Make no mistake, nutty Arab dictators and Islamists are Russia's enemies, as well. The result of Russia's duplicity has been dead theatergoers and schoolchildren blown to bits. Russian backroom deals with murderers and short-term focus on hard-currency profit are ultimately self-defeating, but for now, she should be held to account for her illicit relations.
Tasty ManateesYou mean nutty dictators like Saudies and Pakistan to whom US bend over backward? Or PLO to whom US give monies and drive Israel on suicide mission? Or KLA? Or KLA lite of Makedonia? Or Afghanistan Korizay government which by new constitution is Taliban light?

And result of US duplicity? 2 destroy embassies, 1 war ship Cole, 3,000 in 2 towers and pentagon, various bombings in Phillipines, Sudan's genocide (all because US DC sell soul to Saudi petro dollar). Living in glass house you throw lots of stones.
