| George W. Bush: An insult to our collective intelligence President of the USA is provocative and aggressive instead of conciliatory and diplomatic Let us compare for one instant the Presidents of the Russian Federation and the United States of America. On one side, we have a President whose policy is directed towards improving relations with the international community in a climate of friendship and peace (principles which guided the foreign policy of the USSR) and in tandem with the norms of international law as stipulated by the UNO. On the other, a roving cowboy, taming the wilderness with his gun and his Bible, with an absence of tact and diplomacy. Diplomacy, debate, dialogue and discussion are the basic precepts of democracy, a word much referred to by the USA but unfortunately not practised in principle and diplomacy, debate, dialogue and discussion are for sure the four words which summarise Moscow's foreign policy, while Washington's continues to be dominated by bullying, blackmail, belligerence and bullishness. Alliteration aside, see what I mean about "loon"? Author bio: http://english.pravda.ru/author/_78.htmld |

| #4 Pravda's back. For a while I thought they were going to compete with the Weekly WOrld News for the really weird alien stories but they've resolved to return to their roots. The question is how many english speakers really pay attention to Pravda for anything other than comic relief? |

| #3 Somehow I knew without checking that this would turn out to be Timothy Bancroft-Hinchley. I usually try to ignore his stuff. It's too predictable. |

| #1 Russian loon, American loon, what's the difference? Moonbats International members are so predictable--one may suspect that they reproduce by cloning. |
