But thats besides the point in the argument. Why are you avoiding the Russia thing as soon as I bring up Cuba... Are you arguing for the sake of arguing, or is there a point? My basic question is this: Why are we not just working with Russia on the Nuke thing, why do we have to worry about the Democracy thing at this juncture?

Probably because we've seen a Russia that has crubed it's freedoms and resorted to a totalitarian regime. We've seen that Russia dominate world events for half a century. We've seen that Russia imprison millions of Eastern Europeans. We've seen that Russian murder and starve millions of people. We've seen that Russia attempt to place nukes 90 miles from our shores.

I think I can speak for millions more who don't want to see that Russia again. Do you?
