Welcome to talking with 90% of Americans...they don't know the difference between Russia and the USSR. And they don't even know Russia exists unless Rumsfeld is going to talk bad about the "anti-democratic" stuff that Putin does. Unless Americans actually go out and search for the information on the rest of the world, it isn't there.[/QUOTE]
It happens not only in USA. Ukrainians, Belarussians, Kazakhs etc. etc. etc. they all are Russians outside Russia. Until there's a good one of them. Shevchenko is an Ukrainian football star of course, but if there's "bad" Ukrainian - then he's Russian for the rest of the world. But on other hand no-one calls people of Finland or Poland as Russians, though just only 90 years ago both countries were parts of Russian Empire.
Englishmen are not responsible for "bad" people of India or for "bad" Welsh people, but Russians takes sins of all East Europe and Mid Asia nations. Lenin was bad, Stalin was bad, Brezhnev have invaded Afghanistan, oh those damned Russians, and no-one cares that Lenin has no any single tiny bit of Russian blood inside him (his roots are from Germany, Sweden and Chuvashia - small nation living in Russia), Stalin was Georgian, Khruschev and Brezhnev were Ukrainians... But who cares? We're evil nation till the end of times. That's our destiny perhaps.
Now we are guilty of Saddam too as someone wrote above. Not USSR, but Russia. And I'm afraid to open my mouth to say something about who helped Bin Laden 20 years ago... I won't be surprised if it'd be Russians again...

Excellent points, Serry. I have to admit that most people in the US didn't even know what the Ukraine was until that election where the guy got poisoned and it screwed up his face. Then he was all over the news (sort of a people's hero thing), and they gave a bunch of background info on the Ukraine. Now, of course, nothing on the news about it.
I know you guys get blamed for almost everything...so do we here. Everyone seems to forget that it was us who put Saddam into power because he was useful for us, and us who took him out when he got too hard to control.
If people aren't blaming Russians, they are blaming the US. I've even seen people blame both at the same time, using the same reasons. Try and confront them with logic? Might as well be talking to a wall.

Last month's National Geographic has an excellent story on Ukraine, Chernobyl, and that whole area. I agree, I did not know too much about it. It's a good read and not a one-sided look either, at least that's how I interpret it.
Off the subject, I always wondered why it's the largest territory on the Risk board game.

Excuse me? Are you by any chance a fucking retard?
Do I need to point out to you that roughly half of my relatives are of American nationality?
I hate fucking reactionaries (ie. republicans, rednecks and those who are both), not Americans. Would I be studying American History at university if I were anti-American?
Grow a brain next time you try an pin something on me, ass.

Calm down, dude. You're from Russia and have no room to talk about political corruption. What is your government doing about the cancer epidemic due to the Chernobyl fallout.
But to blame Bush and the US for Saddam's disposition? If Clinton would've been able to run again and win, he would have had to do something about Saddam as well.
And to tie in the elections to this verdict? Tell me that's not moronic. C'mon Serry... tell me...[/QUOTE]
Need I point out to your fascist self that Saddam got into power by your 'great government' itself?

A reactionary would be a type of Republican, however, a Republican is certainly not a type of reactionary. You have your squares and rectangles mixed up.

I happen to disagree with you here. While there are non-reactionary republicans (just as there are ultra-conservative democrats, both of them are a rarity), the majority of republicans fall under the header 'reactionary', in that they strive not just for a status-quo, but for a return to 'ancient values' (to sum it up in a single phrase). However, there are others, who are not republicans, who want a similar thing (see your own American far-right splinter factions, like Pat Buchanan in the first Bush Jr. election), and would thus fall under the 'reactionary' header.
Thus, both ways (reactionaries as republican sub-species or the other way around) do not cover the whole spectrum, but neither is really incorrect. It just depends on your focus.

I'd love to argue in this thread, but the post order is getting fucked up (again), so it's not worth the hassle...
Edit: I'll just throw in, as a response to TQ, that the vast majority of both Democrats and Republicans lie in the middle, and are more or less rather indistinguishable.

Wake me up when he's croaked.
It's been requested that during Saddam's execution they'll play a Queen song...
'Hang On In There'.
