It's civilization versus barbarism. I'm a cultural (not political!) Slavophile...I'm sure Mother Russia will side with civilization sooner or later.

They did. Russian has been stuggling with the Moslem fanatics in Chechnia, but the US had defended them! As a matter of fact, Bin Laden's connection to Chechnia and Bosnia is well documented, but we still sided with the Bosnian/Chechnian/Albenian Moslems

Our client, the Moslem government in Bosnia has awarded Bin Laden an HONORARY citizenship!

It's civilization versus barbarism.

IMHO, it's actually the followers of the God of Abraham (Judeo-Christians) v. the rest of the world.

This breaks down roughly to US-UK-Israel plus a few minor states, v. China-Ruusia-Islam-US press-Godless Socialists-Humanists-Wiccans-France and other assorted Euroweenies-Academia-Narcissists-Rapists, Pedophiles, and Homosexuals-the Self-Important- and william jefferson clinton, et al.

Russia is the civilisation under the attack by the barbarians like Serbs in Kosovo were.
