I said Bush not Rice. Also talking about Mushroom clouds is not "Iraq will nuke us soon if we don't invade". The concern was about long term nuclear proliferation. If Iraq got a nuke, Iraq itself using it wasn't the only concern. Iraq letting terrorists use it, or Iraq sharing the technology with countries that are enemies of the US where also concerns. And again even if you consider such thoughts to be irrational its not particularly relevant to the issue we where discussing. Russia is an important country. They have a great deal of oil. They control the nat. gas pipeline going into Europe. Its in everyone's best interest to do a little hand holding. Hand holding, fine. Bending over backwards, no. Not to worry........we are barely talking. I'm not particularly worried. I think we will continue to develop and deploy missile defenses, whatever Russia's opinion is. We can say polite words if that helps the situation, but the general policy should not change.
