First France, ok, now Russia. Funny, those are the ones Bush is getting bashed for not getting them on board for the war. DOES EVERYONE NOW SEE WHY HE HAD SUCH A TOUGH TIME. Now Kerry and Edwards can go _ _ _ _ themselves.

Yup. And Kerry wants us to get a global permission slip from THESE countries? (P.S. Are those twins on the baby screen in your profile??)

Well, if u want an explanation on why Russia is on the list, I can shed some light on it. Vladimir Zhirinovsky, a head of Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) is the name of the guy who made big friends with Saddam.
Zhirinovsky is quite a guy. He speaks five languages, makes friends with J.-M. Le Pain (another nutter from France). He is very well-educated (lawyer; know why God created snakes before lawyers? just to practice). When his party was elected to Duma (Parliament), he immediately started selling MP aides' mandates. At that time MP aides enjoyed some sort of legal immunity. Just imagine - lots of criminals all of a sudden became MP aides...

He is known to be an author of the most outrageous (to the point of being funny) comments and speeches. At one point, when he was on TV talk show with some other guy, Zhirinovsky splashed the orange juice (which he was quietly sipping a moment before that) right into the face of his opponent!

He is absolutely shameless, arrogant, rude bastard.

However, not all of us (Russians) are like that.
