Arabs invite Russia to Algiers summit

[World News]: MOSCOW, March 21 : Russia has accepted an invitation to attend the Arab summit meeting in Algiers Tuesday, Interfax news agency reported.

Algeria, which will host the summit, invited Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Saltanov to attend, the news agency said.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement Monday Russia welcomed the opportunity to take part in the inter-Arab summit.

"Russia welcomes the Algerian forum and sincerely wishes success to its delegates who will discuss current problems in the Middle East and North Africa, including the peace settlement between Arab countries and Israel, the situation in Iraq, modernization and development of Arab countries, and improving the League of Arab States," the the foreign ministry statement said.

Saltanov "will attend the summit and have meetings with delegates and foreign observers," the statement said.

Man it's great to see these guys all "getting along"---I'm betting the entire conversation started with "what'd Condi say?" and "who do ya suppose is next?" There's nothing like a fleet of a dozen SUPERCARRIERS to keep these clowns honest---not to mention those little bitty squads of counter snipers that we've set out on the occasional hilltop. HUSH--I said not to mention them!

Sad to say but Russian Foreign Policy looks increasingly schizofrenic. Many of the Arab Countries (like Saudi Arabia, Lybia) are reported to be financing Islamist insurrection in Chechnya and North Caucasus. Islamist mercenaries from Arab countries were reported to be involved in Beslan. Russia joins Arab regimes to put another pressure for yet more concessions from Israel--the country who has been fighting for its survival the Arab-Islamist-Nazist tyrannies since its foundation (rather restoration) in 1948.

Should I also mention that Israel is 20% Russian Speaking and if we add those who were born in Israel but have roots in Russian Empire (Russia proper, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Polish Kingdom) or Soviet Union (which is pretty much Russian Empire under Communism) we get the number possibly over 50% ? I simply lost for words.

To be fair, unfortunately, because of Oil dependency, US was also having cozy relationship with many Islamonazi Regimes for decades. However, I hope US will break from this dependency when it starts developing more oil fields in Alaska.
