Comments on: Rice Slams Russian General Over Warning

General Says Czech Republic And Poland Could Be Targeted If They Allow U.S. Missile Defenses

Let me tell you something Liars008. The man or woman who disconnect completely from his roots and homeland IS a danger for humanity. Immigrating to a country does not mean that one has to leave every background home.

The USA is a country proud of all its minorities, with no exception. The immigrants who embark on a journey on the American soil don't stop breathing oxygen. They still breathe the same oxygen they used to breath before, drink the same H2O they used to drink before and poop the same sh*t then before...

Often they leave the comfort of the homeland to look for a better future in the USA for them and their family... Best case to mention here is Obama. That doesn't mean (she) he has to strip off of everything that was characterizing him (her). Let me tell you that Roosevelt was right back then, but erring nowadays%u2019 present time.

More proof that the administration never misses an opportunity to show it is for conflict and confrontation as opposed to peaceful coexistence....

The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English- Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian- Americans, or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality than with the other citizens of the American Republic.
The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic. He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart-allegiance, the better it will be for every good American.

The Problem with the administration of Sir Lies-A-Lot is the same today that it has been since the "Smoking Gun". Who with a normal level of intelligence can believe anything this Cow Rice say's. Certainly not the citizens of the World in which we live. When you elect Southern Fascist to represent you on the world stage you should expect this as a reality. When you elect people who will bring the Government of the Worlds biggest superpower back into session so some Slimy little Leader of the Religious Reich can interfer between the Courts and a Family, not to many people in the world will take you serious when it comes to morals. People who do such things have NO morals...the administration of Sir Lies-A-Lot has no morals.

Lars - while the spirit of what you say seems right you should think about this. Language like --No room in America for those who are disloyal-- Is frighteningly Nazisitic. Loyal to What? To the Governement? The reason we vote is so that we can show our leaders what will cause us to be disloyal. This is why we have such a strong nation.

I think it is a xenophobic and dangerous idea put forth by Theodore and now by you. I don't care what someone puts in front of their name with or without a hyphen - as long as it ends in American and is said with pride and reverence for the idea that all men and women are created equal and that their loyalty be to the idea that freedom is an absolute - not a political prop for the self-riteous.

Clements -
As a Russian American you should be equally dismayed that the motherland is itching to ratchet up the rhetoric on nuclear first strike capabilities. The reason the whole thing works is that the US and Russia have enough nukes to annihilate everyone - and everyone can pretty much agree that a nuclear first strike would be pointless for either nation. What is to gain if the people are gone and the ability to step foot on the continent of Asia is null and void for a million years?

Not so for Iran - and as one of the other major nuclear players the Russian military should be offering to help in missile deterent systems to so that we do not get a nuclear rogue state in the middle east.

Personally I think we should provide Ahmenadijad with ten ICBMs and give them to him with an iron clad guarantee that if they light one off on anyone pre-emptively, that the nation of Iran, starting with the great city of Tehran, will shortly become a large green glass tourist attraction for generations to come with - No questions asked.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all.
This is just as true of the man who puts %u201Cnative%u201D before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.
But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else.

First of all, as a Russian-American, I'm offended at some of the comments made here! Its very sad to see that in 2007 there are still people who are stupid enough to think that its acceptable to use ethnic slurs or other bigoted remarks to make some sort of half-baked political point. Second of all, considering the HUGE Iraq mess we are in and the general instability in the Middle East, what in the world are we doing antagonizing yet another country? Is this administration purposefully trying to create instability in the world?! This bad for America and bad for the world!

Russia's oil renaissance
Opec ministers want to maintain curbs on oil exports, but Russia's oil output is growing dramatically. In the first of two articles, BBC News Online reports on Russia's newly resurgent oil industry.

Once again, it's about oil. Iran is a supplier to Russia and Russia doesn't want to jeapordize that.

[bwessels]

Russia wants to be part of the EU, G8 (G7), even NATO I think. If Iran is the problem, offer to put the interceptors in Russian soil under our control. Put up or shut up, Vlad.

I think Russia should Join the United States and co-develop a missile defense system that benefits both countries. In fact, why won't Washington as Russia to host a missile defense system as well and assist in manning it. I think it's time that Russia and the United States become co-equal partners in strategic defense, self-defense and the war against terrorism.

The last bungling fool to issue his childish "bring it on!" is getting it up where the Sun don't shine, enough to increase his gray hair count. LOL

Those countries already have demonstrated their stupidity by joining the witless "coalition of the willing" in Iraq, and had to turn tail.

They are again creating even more problem with THEIR POWERFUL NEIGHBOR by foolishly following the present administration's effort to intimidate and bully.

They tried it with China earlier on; and China knocked down one of our spy planes and had it cart it out of China in pieces; yet we don't seem to learn that large nations can STILL hurt us real bad if we continue to fight the Cold War.

[middleman8]

Here we go again..The last cold war Russia and the U S threatened each other over Canada.This time Canada should have a thousand nuke-rockets and inform these two countries that the first one to try to use Canada as a battle ground gets wiped out.

[mitywhity]

The Ruskies are jumping at every opportunity to wave their sabres. They want a cold war anyway. Anyone who doesn't see them re-arming and becoming a menace down the road in the not-too-distant future is blind.
