I just got done reading that article, it's basically about how Russia is willing to work with the US on stopping the production of nuclear arms, but how America is trying to force them into a Democratic political system. I just don't see what is so special about Democracy that makes it this all-knowing system of Govornment... it fails here constantly, so why do we try to push it off on everybody else? I suppose i'm a little slanted, seeing as I consider socialism to be ideal... but it just seems stupid to me not to take help unless it comes from a mirror image of the US. Thoughts?
