I'd gladly read all of any contrary view he'd like to espouse if only he'd put the effort in to do so. Yes, and this is the source of m,y frustration as well. I see post after post of his in which a point about to be made melts into nonsequitur or incoherence. It's frustrating. I'm also aware of the events where he was involved on Teresa's thread. I stopped reading it because of this. I'm hoping he does not do to this thread what he did there. IMO, this is much too important a topic and forum for Americans to be deliberately interrupted.

if his country had been annexed by Soviet rule long ago Re llmarinan Couple of points on Finlands history. They have been successful with diplomacy. Just look who they have had to deal with... Hitler and Nazi Germany, Stalin and the USSR. They have also had a capable military considering the size of population and resources. They have shown to know how to deal deals. virtual.finland.fi The other point is that llmarinen is hinting he sees oil as central to this war against terrorism. The "terrorism" has a large component of Muslims in it (who own all the oil). So how does one use the diplomacy tool to it's best advantage?
