Let the Russians have it — we have too many environmental kooks to ever be able to get at the resources anyway.

Surely the kooks will be up in arms about Russia's plans to exploit that pristine area of the globe.

In the fight between Soviet whalers and Greenpeace, where Greenpeace would use boats to get in front of whales, weren’t the Russians shooting harpoons anyhow, as well as water and steam hoses? I suspect that Putin holds anti-Russian Leftist protesters in low regard.

Hey nutso environmentalists please go the North Pole and protest the potential disaster to the polar bears and other NP animals. The Russians are very easy people to deal with, they absolutely love American liberals and will be sincerely touched by your concern. Please feel free to stay for a while - possibly forever. Oh, and while you are there, please say hello to Santa for me.

Ain't that the truth! It would be less hassle to just buy the Arctic oil from the Russians. Although a nice touch would be for the Russians to contract Halliburton in the project -- just to piss the liberals off.
