I too was so glad when Mr. Bush calmly, yet firmly told Putin, Prodi, et.al. that the fault lay with Hizbollah and their ilk. It's just so refreshing to see at least one Western leader tell the truth as it is compared to the spineless sissies and opportunists who now sit in power throughout Russia and the EU. Russia's Putin is only interested in trying to make Russia a great power again, in direct competition with and opposition to, the USA. The EU is interested in only following the same course. Neither Russia nor the EU are governed by principle, and probably never have been for a long, long time.
