NEWSFLASH

The US gave the Taliban and Osama bin Laden weapons.

I don't see anything surprising in this, frankly. The Russian government has yet to find a reason to really like American plans for the world. And the war in Iraq (and how badly it's been going) has been a HUGE boost to Russia's oil economy.
Mr. Putin is a happy man.

But don't let this give you an impression that every Ivan suddenly changed his mind about America. There is a growing disapproval of American foreign policy among the Russian public, but don't let it give you the impression that this has any more support in the common public than, say, what Mr. Kissinger and the CIA might have been doing back in the mid-70s. :hmm:
