Re: [A-List] Bush's Last Throw against Iran

["NÃstor Gorojovsky" <nmgoro@xxxxxxxxx>]

Russia is obviously turning Iran into its advanced bulwark against US
encroachment in the "large Balkans" (from Georgia to Afghanistan) of
our times. A good geopolitical game which might soon be reinforced if
the Serbs ask for a Russian permanent station. The Bushites (and the
US bourgeoisie) are, of course, scared and bewildered at the turn
things are taking. This, Zbig did not expect...
