Here are the simple politics of it: * Would the US be comfortable with Russian missile batteries in Cuba or Mexico? Would the US be comfortable if Russia and Canada entered into a military alliance? Clearly no. Neither is Russia comfortable with US influence in its border states and what it considers its "sphere of control". So the question is simple: is the US willing to challenge Russia in its sphere of control - probably risking war - or is it better to use diplomacy with Russia while ceding them their Sphere of Control? If we want to risk war to control all areas of the world, then we should challenge them. If diplomacy is better then we should back off. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:266304 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
