I think Israel may be the only sane country/military power left in our world today!!! We aren’t too far off, but our leaders needs to satisfy the public and not stand up to them and LEAD is getting us in a lot of trouble... and Iran and Russia KNOW this and WILL take advantage of our position if we let them... I think they are COUNTING on it, personally...
Russia is emboldened because the traitorous Dims control Congress and have pretty much marginalized and emasculated Bush. Russia is further emboldened because it believes a marxist (either Her Thighness or B. Hussein) will win the presidential election in 2008. To Pootie, things are looking pretty good, and he feels he can strut some stuff.
