[Nuke'm Glowing]

Dear Russians,

You have our blessings to wipe out the remainder of your Chechen problem. AFTER you vote to let us get rid of our Sadamn problem. Otherwise, I think we should publicize the plight of the "poor Islamic minority" in that region as much as possible.

Your call you commie lying bastards.

Sincerely, W

Why so much anger toward the Russians?

1)Russians are not "commies" any more.

2)In the battle against terrorism they were on "our" side before we were (9/11)

3)The Russians were the first to express outrage and condolences on 9/11. There was no celebration in the streets of Moscow, only sadness at our loss.

4)The Russians would really like to get paid the 8 billion dollars that Saddam still owes them, so they are a little hesitant to approve of the US ousting him.

Why address them as "lying bastards"? Is this a cold war artifact, or have you had a bad personal experience with a Russian?
