>>Look, I'm the most pro-education person you'll ever encounter. But I'm also going to tell you that there are certain things you don't get from an education. Koan: I agree, one does not get everything from education. But education is essential. I grew up in a real tough city, Richmond California, so I know the streets as well as anyone. >.Obama may "know" the law, but he doesn't have the gumption to understand that you don't give Russia a gift like the one he gave them this week. You get something out of it. And we're already seeing the result of this gross incompetence: Russia has pocketed the gift, and now is making the next round of demands.>> Koan: "That is just plain wrong, IMO. When the soviet Union came apart along with the Warsaw pact, we should have been working with Russia in a new way. Instead, the paranoid neo cons started supplying tons of military weapons ringing Russia's neighbors and unitarily planned those missles in Polad right on Russia's boarder. Those were unncessary threats. Let Europe handle Iran. Iran has no missles that can reach us and Iran is muhc more of a thrreat to Europe. Why are we spnding our money. Their GDP is larger than ours. How would you feel if Russia came over here and arbitrarily put missles (even defensive weapons) in Cuba, Mexico or Venezuela? You would be up in arms about it, right? It was stupid of Bush and Cheney to plan to put missles right on Russia's boarder-gheeesh-lol! Did they forget about the Cuban missle crises?
