US President George W Bush said today a lot of tensions exist between the West and Russia and voiced scepticism about Russia's path to democracy under President Vladimir Putin.
"My message to Vladimir Putin is there's a better way forward, and your interests lie in the West, and we ought to be working together in a collaborative way," Mr Bush said.
Mr Putin came close to comparing the United States to the Third Reich recently and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice tried to cool the harsh rhetoric in a visit to Moscow.
Mr Putin has been upset at US plans for a missile shield in Europe that he considers aimed at countering Russia but which Mr Bush says is to counter the potential threat of missile attack from renegade states.
Mr Bush said he sent Defence Secretary Robert Gates to Moscow to try to ease Russian concerns about the missile shield, with the message that "we're not your enemy".
"You know, people in his government harbour suspicions about our intention, and I was trying to allay those suspicions. But there is a lot of tension with Russia, particularly with Europe now, that Russia is using her energy and denying market access to different countries, for example, Polish meat," Mr Bush said.
Mr Bush said he still is close to Mr Putin personally but said "it's a very complex relationship" between the US and Russian governments.
"He thinks they've got a democracy emerging there in Russia. Obviously there's a lot of suspicion about that, and I look forward to continuing to talk to him as to why he thinks his country is on the path to democracy. It looks like at times it's not to me," he said

haha you fucking moron. i don't know what he's trying to achieve by putting up walls between him and the russians. i think he's just trying to destroy this planet that he's done well to fuck up already. he's a fuckin' dumbass.
anyway, won myself a copy of eliminator (zz top) on ebay, and paid for it so that should arrive sometime this week. working this afternoon as well, 4-7, worked yesterday 7-4. breakfast shifts are easy, its when lunch hits that we're workking our asses off. bradley ain't that bad a manager, he's actually a good manager provided you follow his instructions to the letter, so yesterday was a good day and i don't think i screwed up once. drank plenty (3 bottles of mount franklin) and that kept me going. currently listening to guns n' roses november rain, pming with delrae on livewire. txt'd with shae again thismorning, first time in ages. nice to hear from her again, that she's ok. never mind the darkness, we still can find a way, wahtever that means. nothin' lasts forever, even cold november rain.
considering which guitar to purccahse, whether to buy the acoustic one first for $150, or spend $200 on the essex, or go into hobart music centre and put down a deposit on the les paul players pack, which contains an epiphone les paul, amplifier and all the usual parafinalia (SP?) its a good guitar, i've tried them out in there before, high quality instruments that are just as good as their gibson brothers, and thers nothing overly major to justify the $3000 price difference. so the player pack is like $550 which means a 10% deposit ($55) then 10% every week after that for 9 weeks.
anyway, now we see if this posts.
