And keep in mind, the US media absolutely detests Russia, and always has.

You're blowing your cover with that one, Comrade. If anything, most of the US media has a pro-Russia bias since the days of the Cold war. They never talk about Russian support for terrorists, Russian support for rogue regime, the techniques Russia uses to destabilize and overthrow democratic governments, etc.

For reasons you probably know.

Because the average Russian makes a Nazi stormtrooper look like a choir boy in comparison?

Even now, the Russian "peacekeepers" are providing firepower support to the "South Ossetian" russian citizens that are raping Gori and stealing anything of value they can find. "Russia" might as well just be a synonym for "organized theft".

It is interesting that members of this site feel free to attack and use intimidation like a pack of hyenas when someone dare say something they disagree with. Is this the basis of conservative politics? I think not.

There is a tiny amount of truth in your comments regarding US media and Russia. But its more a conceptual agreement (with elements of communism/socialism) than a love of Russia.

Russia does not support terrorists. They have an equal dislike for Muslem groups just like the US - only it began decades before 9-11. You, this website, Bush and Rice, jointly condemned Russia for attacking Chechnya in the years prior to 9-11. Then, an about-face came from the above groups. Muslem distrust, even hatred, began to permeate this website. Hoorah's and accolades were given to Russia. Then came Iraq and the Russian non-vote at the UN. Everything turned back again to the previous heckling of Russia. I've been here since 2001 and can remember it distinctly.

I will leave you with this. I'm a conservative and despise communism. I support the US and President Bush 100%, when a lot of people here had a change of heart. My views never changed on Bush. To this day I think he'll go down as a steadfast and vigilant president who protected his country in very perilous times.

I also tend to view Russia not as sinister and evil as many here. I enjoy the debates. But you folks should not thump Russians on the nose. They are more like you than just about anywhere short of Great Britain and Australia. Hate the government, not the people.
