Actually looking at it from a totally Cold War perspective, nothing would be better for Neocons than to have the Iron Curtain alive and well again. That truly would inspire patriotism and fear again.
The USSR came down too fast and economically hurt us. We didn't have a chance to get off the military based economics. We still aren't hence the "war in Iraq".
Terrorists aren't as scary as another country aiming nukes at yours.
China doesn't want to play the game (they have chosen to try economic warfare). So that leaves little ol' Russia to rise up again and become a power.
Let's face it in all honesty the US faced it's greatest days because we were in competition with another country.
Not condoning Russia's return, just stating what I see.
