Re: I was surprised by that turn of events...Russia must be too cozy with the US for Iraq's disposition. Russia needs the US assault on Iraq almost as badly as Israel needs it --but, for obvious reasons, she can't blurt it. Vladimir Putin is a smooth operator and plays the Mideast game quite intelligently: he doesn't oppose a US war against Iraq altogether... Rather, he wants the US to wage it with the UN Security Council greenlight. And guess what's the price of a Russian "yes"?? It's Chechnya --and, why not, Afghanistan. Again, the Judeofascists' plot to tame the Arab world would be perfect if the US caved in to their warmongering: Islamophobic Europe (just think of Turkey) and Arabophobic Russia would come out as pristine, middle-of-the-road powers who have done their best --but failed-- to prevent the US assault on Iraq... What a hypocritical posturing! It's sad, and ultimately perilous, that the US lend itself to such a phoney kriegspiel. The Arab flak should be fired at the REAL warmongers, not at the 800-pound straw gorilla. Gus
