     That mistake is forgivable. As is reminding you of my humility.

     Misrepresentation. False generalisation.
     USA very bad, and a dying dragon.
     Russia a nation almost back on her feet, lead by a man of integrity
     and
     care for her people. "Russian" principles (principles of the "true
     Russian human" as opposed to "Russia the nation") are actually
     evident
     in not only the words, but also the deeds of the Russian power
     brokers -
     in particular internationally.
     The multi polar world is an inherently more stable world that an
     empire
     with a very small circle of "elites" at the helm.
     Your failure to bring empathy and depth of comprehension (in your
     words)
     of the despotism of the USA empire, is not so forgivable.

     Ack, thank you Steve.

   While I do enjoy Steve's messages and mostly agree with what he's
   written on this thread, if you'd bothered to read even the first line
   of the message I'd quoted, or if you were using a proper threaded mail
   reader, you would have seen that it was xorcist I was replying to, not
   Steve.
