Yes, it is. And if, God forbid, this ends in catastrophic death I pray that the outpouring of support in the US for the Russians is as massive as their post-9/11 outpouring of support was for us.
I don't consider their antics in the UN Security Council concerning the Iraq resolution to be evidence of support for us.
I hope that today's events shock them to the realization that they can't be like the man in the lifeboat who says to his companion, "Look, your side of the boat is sinking." Either they are with us or they are with the terrorists. I hope this clarifies their thinking.
