In the white room with black curtains near the station. Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings. Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes. Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment. Ill wait in this place where the sun never shines; Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves. You said no strings could secure you at the station. Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows. I walked into such a sad time at the station. As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning. Ill wait in the queue when the trains come back; Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves. At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd. Consolation for the old wound now forgotten. Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes. Shes just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings. Ill sleep in this place with the lonely crowd; Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves. By jack bruce and pete brown CREAM

In today's world ... the US is the superpower of last resort..so a return to Monroe Doctrine implies almost an isolationist policy ... no ? but in a way YES... help J6P fix his balance sheet.. the US has enough NG.. can get more oil from us (Canada)... Wonder what the rest of the world does if the big (and emerging, China, India) powers just focus on ameliorating the human condition at home ?

Nato expansion and missle defence - I expect the odds are this will be traded for something else, most likely about Iran's nuclear program. From some articles appearing in the Russian press, the Russians are having their own doubts about the wisdom of Iran having nuclear weapons and long range missles. So the Russians may be happy to get paid what they want to do anyway. There is an election in Iran on 12 June 2009. I thinks we will see some movement after the election. Possibly Russia will be doing the reprocessing of Iranian fuel. The other problem will be shutting down the centrifuges. I am not sure how that will be done.

TJ, If I would be from Mars and unable to read history mostly of Russia and the evolving Rurik dynasty with the follow-up Germanic Tsarist families and the evolvement of Rusia since Ivan, I would fully agree with Muammar Gaddafi. Unfortunate since ancient times Russia under the Rurik dynasty and more actively after Ivan was a highly imperialistic country which conquered whatever they could to the south only to be stopped by the Byzantine Empire and later the Ottoman Empire and took all they could to the east of the Volga River tributaries conquering and in many instances pulverizing the nations that where in their way. To date the Russians are plundering the natural resources of other conquered nations who receive nothing in returns such as infrastructure or other economic development. Russia is still holding on to their colonies by integrating them into Russia and giving the remaining population that is still alive a simple choice assimilate or perish. Therefore the World at large will be much better of with a Russia cut to its natural size from the current western borders to the region of the Volga western tributaries!!.
