I just think Iran or Pakistan combined are more pissed off at the US than Russia.</p> I don’t think the potential for nuclear catastrophe is based on redundancy or motive.

They don’t have any historical bearing whatsoever. To them, it’s like the abuses of the industrial age, the Depression, FDR, WWII, etc. never existed. Republikans don’t have any grasp on what can happen with unfettered “free markets”. Nor do they have any respect for the history of other nations. /rant off.</p> That’s the problem with Republikans.

I had hoped the interim not bad news was b/c things were going to be OK. I guess we always hope; I really have alot of respect for the man. Found his voice and footing after some very tough years. I wonder if he will have the energy to be a force in the campaign; I can imagine he would really want to be. There is a way the world was never the same after the tragedy of JFK & Dallas, then the 1968 shocks and loss of hope with RFK. I guess he does not have quite the same resonance, maybe, but revives all that sorrow and loss of the dream. I hope he will see his wish fulfulled for Obama.</p> I had just heard….and so sorry, so sad. I had hoped the interim not bad news was b/c things were going to be OK.
