Hey Your on My Side

My spirit was instantly saddeded when I was doing some reading on the up coming summit that will be taking place this week at the G-8 summit. There is a big controversey that is going on now because Russia’a president Valamir Puttin comments on Bush's ambition to erect a missile defense system on Moscow's doorstep. U.S. officials have insisted -- publicly and to Putin personally -- that the system planned for Eastern Europe is meant to protect NATO allies against a missile launch from Iran, which the West suspects of trying to develop nuclear weapons. Moscow isn't buying it, insisting the system must be aimed at Russia and accusing Washington of touching off a new arms racPutin, speaking to foreign reporters before he travels to Germany for the summit, warned that Moscow could take "retaliatory steps" if Washington goes forward with the missile plan, including possibly aiming nuclear weapons at targets in Europe. The whole cotroversey seems to me to be something that would occur on a beach between playing in the sand at the beach rather then between two leaders of world powers. One child builds a sand fortress. Then another child omes over and says your sand fortres is too close to me so I am going to build my own sand fortress to protect myself. Now I know that my senerio was a little over simplified but my key point is thing are just much more complicated then they need to be.
