"The Bush Adminisration made plans to put missiles in Eastern Europe'

Not missiles -- anti-missiles. Your media misinforms you.

Russia feels insecure for Eastern Europe to have protection from the possibility of Iranian, and their own attacks, just in case they decide to, I guess. Protection is, after all, very aggressive. It is Russia who built the Iranian Nuclear Facility, isn't it? And now they continue with Venezuela. Peaceful Nukes, of course. Though, Venezuela has an overabundance of electricity, and sells it to it's neighboring countries. Hmmm.

Yes, it's all our fault, of course. Putin is such a peaceful and loving man. And Chavez is a darling teddy bear. He was so kind to those nice FARC people. They have no malicious ambitions of their own. They only function, their entire will and mindset, is only in response to, and can totally be controlled by us and our behavior. If not for us, the entire world world would live in utopian peace.

And let's not overlook the fact that The Republican Party was also responsible for the Pelopenisian Wars, The Fall of the Roman Empire, and the Eruption of Krakatoa. And you forgot to include Cous-cous, Shish-kebob, and Crepes-Suzette, just a few more of the wonders which the uncreative Americans didn't invent either, along with all our other awful inadequacies. If we keep trying, though, maybe we can come up with something or other to invent one day. Thanks for the advice.
