Oh, I see - missile bases are now known as ” anti-missile bases”!

How stupid does the Bush Administration think the Russians are, anyway? Only Americans are that gullible. The Russians know perfectly well that Iran poses no threat to them. They know that this is all part and parcel of the neocon’s “Project for a New American Centrury”, their openly declared intention to dominate the entire world, economcally, politically, and militarily. Those missiles are meant only to intimidate the Europeans, including the Russians, and they know it; so why would they agree to cooperate in their own subjugation?

Sadly, the USA always wants the ability to be able to “wipe others off the face of the Earth”. In effect, all they ever do is to start a never-ending arms race. The military/industrial complex loves it!!!

They’re trying to get in ring with heavy knock-out punches. Nobody trusts both of them, the Imperialist and Communist.
Innocent people like us never want to bath in the oceans of blood created by these monsters !

I really can’t imagine the need for missile bases in Poland. If we haven’t been lied to again, than we have accurate missiles that are long range and do not have to be right on the Russian border to do the job.
It is hard to guess the direction that Russia is going to take in the future, but I doubt gouding them is going to help move us to a more peaceful future.
I think George and Cheney have created enough enemies for this country for one generation.
