Cold war rhetorics used to provoke "duck and cover" reaction is not the best way to explain the situation. The world is not RED/BLUE any more.

For example, Putin's favorite is supportive of WOT and Iraq effort, while Euroweenie's favorite is against it.

Euroweenie's favorite is also supported by Soros.

And Powell.

Tough, huh. This is algebra, not 'rhytmetics.

The big game is to lure Ukraine to become another country to encircle Russia militarilly.

This is dangerous development full of nasty surprises.

I would also add that neither Powell, nor the rest of the government has taken a stand on either candidate. They just declared that they want to make sure the elections were fair and clean.

Other than that, your post sums up nicely my opinion in the matter.

Who will verify that Russia is obeying the kyoto accords, the french? I get it, but you can still hope for some kind of right and wrong in the world of today.

Er, isn't that technically the "Great Game"? Author, Ziggy Brzezinski.
