NATO had already refused to involve Russia in anti-terrorism war games in Europe.

I suppose this is about the minimum Russia could have done. They could, during the war, have bombed the pipeline running through Georgia which would have really hurt the NATO countries.

The space shuttle is already prety much out of it & will be retired in 2010. If America wants to continue manning the International Space Station they now depend on Russia's goodwill to let them hitch.

I wish Bush would hurry up and go.

Sad thing is whoever wins the next presidency we'll probably miss old no brainer George in the long run!

Crazy Mcain or Racist Obama! What a choice!

Henry none of this will stop. no matter who is in power the US needs to run its protection racket to keep the prices of oil high and the weapons industry ticking over.
Did you know that just after 911 the US govt approved the development of a weapon called crusader - made by a carlyle group commpany (the group to which bush and bin laden famlies belong)even though previously congress had declared the weapon was obselte.
