They seem to take 2 steps forward and then 2 steps back. Are they our friends or forming friends with France and Germany with the purpose of forming an alliance against us, looks like it depends on the week. Are they becoming an open society or puting restrictions on freedom of the press, religion, busisness depends on the week. Fighting islam in Chechnya or supplying Iran with nuke power.
They are a contridiction upon themselves and have not decided yet which way their future lies. It needs somebody who better understands what is going on in the society and the pressures than I do to give an opinion.
