Hmmm, interesting. May be you can help me understand something? Americans are blase about Puerto Rico. It is a beautiful island and a lovely people. If Puerto Rico wants independence fine. We would love that for obvious reasons. Puerto Rico to date has not been able to convince its population to cut the umbilical cord.

Why does Russia care about the little countries? Once Russia embraces liberty for all, pursuit of happiness for all, the little countries will come back running to once again be part of Russia. The same goes for Taiwan and China. It will happen if Russia pursues higher ideals. Instead Russia pursues the likes of Saddam and Iran and assassinations with Polonium-210. I don't understand Russia's choices.

My knowledge of history probably isn’t as astute as some of those here. It sure appears though, that Russia never changed from the hard core communist stance its always had, they just went for a new appearance to fool the world. They appear as communist as they ever were, and as hard core. They’ll never change or make choices other than as communists.

Sure hope we have support in place for Georgia, and Israel.
