Which would separate you from President Bush and Secretary Rice who have an amazing background in such matters, especially Sec. Rice, not to mention much more information. Both consider Russia and ally, and do not feel it's anything like the hammers and sickels of the Soviet Union.

You must have missed or ignored the background of the man who wrote the article posted.
He was an undercover agent working with the Russians and M.E. terror groups. He sent me an email stating that he had worked WITH the Russians for 30 years, not just read stuff about them.
Hey, Bush and Rice also think that China is a friend. What is the big deal here???
