Alright. Let's play that game. Imagine if every ethnic minority in every country of this world had the right to have an referendum and declare independence in the areas where they are the majority ?!

If it was so , do you know what Russia would look like ? Would you support people of Chechnya if they were to declare independence from Russia ? You know what Russia did in Chechnya ?

The question needs to be asked: what WOULD you have the U.S. do?

So somehow a country on the other side of the world is a threat?
This is how we do it folks, we justify it as a "national security threat" and then we move to action. I always wondered why Russia just didn't claim they were looking for WMD in Ukraine?
...... has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons. Obama has as President created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama's initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened.

Yes, the "community organizer" Obama is really teaching the KGB trained Putin a huge lesson by this EO

The entire world, but not their intel agencies ... Maybe it was just all the laymen in the world.

It's just a threat to the Israel lobbyists. They're scurrying like rats. The propaganda machine(fox, cnn, msnbc) are all agreeing on this, which should make people raise eyebrows. I think the real threat to the world is the war-mongering lunatics in the US government. Revolution and arrest warrants is the only way to proceed forward.
