I think that we need to work with the Russians on many issues. Working with them is not giving in to them - it more of a way to get accomodations on issues where mutual interest are concerned. Having said this - the Russians ought to as well understand that working with the United States and not against the US is to their benefit as well. Political, military, economic, cultural areas that are very important to both countries. And, I am sure that the Russians could do much more to help us in Afghanistan than they are currently doing. Also they have a major influence in Iran and could help there - but it appears that they are dragging their feet. These Chinese could do much more to - these two countries are trying to leverage the United States out of being a leading world power. Jim @ USA
