Cp6uja said: "that´s ridicolous, soldiers of us- and their satelites are dying for Russia´s southern flank, that´s enough for me " Rubbish. When the Taleban were in control of most of Afghanistan the illegal drug trade in Afghanistan was almost non existent. Now that NATO are there there are probably more Russians dying from illegal drugs per year than were killed during the 10 years the Soviets were in Afghanistan. Soldiers of the US and her stooges are dying because George W Bush is an idiot. The only viable solution for the region is pumping money in there to build stable countries of whatever political system (it really doesn't matter whether it is a democracy or dictatorship). Stable countries are bad for terrorist orgs like Al Quada. Trying to fix Afghanistan is beyond even Americas capacity simply because if they find Osama they will be gone the next day leaving everyone else to clean up, just like they did in the 80s when the Soviets left the country.

Russia doesnt trust NATO or the USA . After what happend to Yugoslavia . Yelsin trusted NATO and convienced Milosevic that Russian soldiers will protect the innocent muslims and the orthadox christians in Kosovo , Kosovo will remain with Serbia . US presidential candidate Wesley Clark the commander of all NATO forces gave the orders to shoot the Russians . The English refused the orders , but Yelsin's troops were never able to protect the people that wanted to keep Kosovo in Serbia . The muslim terrorists were allowed to freely kill or expell all opposition . Kosovo was than donated to Albainia . None of UN resolution 1244 was kept . Yelsin was defeated in Yugoslavia , and He was defeated in Russia . Russia believes NATO and the United States treated Yugoslavia very unfair , almost like the nazis . and may very well pull the same kind of tricks on them . So president Obama has his work cut out for him , He somehow has to get Russia to trust america again . It wont be easy considering all whats happend . Obama is maybe the only one that just might be able to do this .
