Very nice! you mean someone else is playing World Cop for once?!?!?

Now all they have to do is to figure out who to attack first.

If in fact Russian troops are there, bet they are there on the side of the dictator.

Well, the Ruskie's track record in the Middle East ain't so hot, so I wouldn't bet on anything. They could end up being attacked by both the government forces and the rebels.

The Russians didnt fare any better in Afghanistan than we have.

I dont think they will accomplish anything

The Russians didnt fare any better in Afghanistan than we have.

In fairness to the Russians, we were helping the Afghanis.

We cant say the same thing as its only the Chechnyans that are helping them now.

Russia has a good relationship with India also. Its China thats the central problem in Iran and Pakistan these days.
