That does sound like something Putin would do.

In this particular case I am tending to agree it appears as a "closest infidel" scenario.

Especially unarmed infidels, though the next one who picks on my wife is in for a hell of a surprise.

I made a mess assuming the uncle is in Boston too. Sorry.

The Monroe Doctrine generally dictates that the US will take care (for good or ill as it has been demonstrated in American History) of the waters and countries that directly surround the United States. And that the foreign intervention in Latin America shall not be allowed to happen.

There is a sort of defacto agreement with Russia that we will not do the same in territories that border their nation. We may protest and become angry, but we are not going to interfere on an Iraqi war style scale in any of the nations near Russia or former Soviet republics whenever Russia decides to push them around. I believe recent history will show this to be true.

Big powers will do this. But they just have to be prepared when the little guys bite back.

Agree. And if you do let them in, and they start posting extremist crap on Youtube, maybe it's time to check further into their activities.

Interesting statement.

And, I feel compelled to ask;

Who is George Bush to give "orders" to anyone outside the United States who is not a US citizen or in the employ of our government?

Would you take any "orders" from the President of another country, anywhere outside of that country?
