Bah : ignore Germany, punish France, forgive Russia !
how bout, treat France and Germany with caution, give them a good opportunity to accept the president that WAS elected TWICE here, as something other than an aberration... and start tightening the screws on Moscow and Beijing, who are both more 'cold war' than they were during the Other President Bush's only term?
France's anti-hegemony bunk is bunk.
Their leadership's involvement with sadaam, reprehensible...
Moreso for Germany.
but I sense they COULD be turned around, in an election or two. After all, NOBODY does revolution against their own government, like the French!!! But Russia?
Vlad 'baby' Putin, is somewhat concerning.
Old KGB habits seem to be hard to break. His lack of response to the atrocity of Beslan is strange. The french at least saw the wisdom in putting an end to the head scarf of islam.
Putin has done nothing of note against the terrorists who did the beslan massacre. I find that strange.
