We need to be very careful here. I'd like to think we could truly work with Russia - to have a relationship based on trust. However, I'm a bit concerned with Russia's sudden surge in cooperation. My fear is another Yalta-like betrayal, where we let Russia get involved - only to have them remain behind once this is all over. The last thing we need is a Russian military presence on an eastward trajectory. OTOH, I can understand Russia being concerned with NATO's westward movement. Both countries still are in a "trust, but verify" mode ten years after the Cold War ended.

I don't believe that the Northern Alliance will succeed but it won't hurt to try it.....

TRUST ME, I'd rather be 'Red' than 'Taliban'.
