this article is bias. clinton went to russia to speak about its relations and actually gave good points and ideas, yes even the point made about many officials stuck to the past. common do you all believe that everyone has moved forward? is this media group speaking and representing everyone in these two countries? plus when a us official goes to russia isnt it in the russian aswell as the us mind to talk about military? most of the talk between these two countries are about military because of the past and many of you know that. is it her fault for wanting and speaking of the possible future she has imagined? isnt it good that both russians and us scientists go to each others countries and answer any question that may or has been bothering them? unlike russia we do not need many parties and we are home of the free because we have many freedoms that many unfortunate people wish to posses. a big example would be the lack of freedom from russian press to attck a russian president (putin at the time) because he would go after the owner and try to imprison if not scare the owner and company. thank you. -bryant

One doesn't have to go back to the cold war days, how about August 2008, forget the US media distortions, just people like Biden, Hilary CLINTON, and even Obama proclaiming their support of Georgia....we have a saying here in the US "forked tongue" that originated with the native American Indian that describes all the treaties the US government broke with the American Indians.... well, US government still speaks with forked tongue....The US would have gladly sent troops to help Georgia but then Russia isn't Vietnam, Panama, Grenada, Iraq or Afghanistan....they have an Airforce, Navy, and a tough Army besides nukes. fred.....Oregon, USA

Bryant . Quite right, the US doesn't need many parties, they have got it down to one the Wall Street party.
