Re “Russia Policy Under Review,” Dec. 12: I suppose that we should be grateful that the Bush administration’s talk about becoming “more assertive” about promoting democracy in and by Russia -- meanwhile undercutting our freedoms here in the U.S.A. -- has not, as yet, gotten to the point of selling regime change to the American public.
Also, there is a slight question of how Bush Inc. proposes to do in Russia’s case what it has so far come a cropper with in tiny and relatively weak Iraq. Or are we expected to accept this as yet another faith-based endeavor?
