Excellent article

"Kim realized that there was no way to force the United States to talk to him tete-a-tete about a non-aggression pact; also, as knowledgeable people in Pyongyang are whispering, he was very much impressed by the success and especially the swiftness of the US military operation in Iraq."

Hot damn, Putin is really taking it in the shorts from Bush now for his treachery, isn't he? Washington is "clearly hinting" that it "might" no longer consider Russia part of the "so-called G8" group and -- wait, there's more! -- Russia may not be invited to North Korean arms talks. Wow! Still, since the Daily Telegraph has reported that Putin was brazenly offering Saddam lists of contract killers he could use to assassinate Western leaders during the run up to our invasion, I guess this is the least Bush could do under the circumstances.

The blow delivered by Beijing to the Kremlin's self-esteem is equally serious. I like it when these two are not getting along.

I should hope that there is more of a price to pay than just what is stated in this article. For example, now that Saddam is gone and we (hopefully) have a friendly regime in Iraq, there is no pressure to help Russia modernize its crummy oil industry.

We have to let the Axis of Weasels know in the strongest terms that there is a price to pay for stabbing the U.S. in the back, especially for the reasons that it was done in this case.

I read elsewhere Bush might drop Canada from the G8.
I guess backstabbing is backstabbing, whether the knife is Nerf or not.

Drop Canada?! I nearly swallowed my gum on that one. Really? That would be so cool.

It was in either a Globe & Mail or National Post article. There were no quotes from White House sources, though.

Spain should get either Russia's or Canada's place.

It will be a suitable reward to Aznar.

For years we've been kicked in the teeth by our so-called allies. Because of this they assumed that there is no price to pay for stabbing us in the back. I almost feel sorry for the poor bastards who have to deal with such a radically different kind of animal as George W! NOT!

The general populations of maybe two English-speaking nations on the planet -- and once-great Britain is NOT one of them [Nor barely "English-speaking," come to that!] love America and among the rest supercilious and patronizing starts them off -- and covers only a cople -- nnd the rest of the world's peoples vehemently through hesperophobicly hate US.

But now, to them all, as you have so accurately noted, let it be made clear:

"Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make.

"Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime."

Way to go, President Bush!

We're not much of a regime if some Shiite Ayatollah can just fly in from Teheran and set himself up as mayor of Baghdad.

We need a little more of the "McArthur Doctrine" in there.

I believe General MacArthur and the 33 Good Men of his regime arrived on the very next plane! No sign of the emperor yet though -- or of any other mass murderer, come to that]

Washington quite clearly hinted that it might no longer consider Russia as a member of the so-called G8 club; then Russia found itself tossed overboard from the now trilateral negotiations on the North Korea nuclear issue...

During President Bush's second term there will really be an opportunity to change the alignment of the world, it seems. I think it will take until almost then for these countries to really get the message as to the meaning of "hard ball".
