Well.. I've never said that Mr Wahid's opinion was not published by "The Washington Times". I have written that
www.inosmi.ru choses what suits them best. And that they are 100% controlled by Kremlin.
If you read a copy of "The Washington Times" from the 1st Jan you'll find for example
the opinion of the State Department which is quite clear:
"""The U.S. on Sunday expressed concern over Russia's decision, saying the move raises questions about the "use of energy to exert political pressure."
"Such an abrupt step creates insecurity in the energy sector in the region and raises serious questions about the use of energy to exert political pressure," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said in a statement."""[/b]
And plese read the german analysis also. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
As to your comments on illegal immigrants.. Let's leave everybody live the life of his own.. not true ?
Red color does not help to convince people.

You know about US State Department and Congress better then me, a modest Canadian

. One day they allow Iran to continue with their Nuclear power plants! (Bush announced that in one of his stupid speeches) and the very next day just deny it with next portion of "terrorism" bullshit (this happened sometime in November 2005, accidentally caught it on CNN, apparently Iran had included couple of huge US companies with ties in government into bidding for a new NU-power plant state contract but someone just outbid them, you never know, right?). Members of Congress are very rich people and by the way they completely agree with injustice wherever their interests are protected.

It called hypocrisy and double-standards. EU does the same. Just look at UK and France for a change.
Of course we can start discussion about where the sausage is better and democracy more democratic

etc. but this is not the point here. Every country has a RIGHT to defend own interests. US or EU, or Ukraine for that matter should not have any advantage while doing it. So does Russia. In situation with natural gas Russia simply has a bigger dick then US and EU combined since they heavily depend on external sources of energy. Maybe they (US and EU) should start inventing things like hydrogen or cold fusion (since they claim to be a super-power) instead of going to war and killing innocent people for oil profits like US does? This way they can say: "#$%^ Russia and their natural gas and oil. We (americans and europeans) already have energy in its purest form. We don't need oil and natural gas anymore. Not from Russia and not from Saudi Arabia and Iraq + Iran. Now, when we don't need resources let's help them to build a true democracy. And the whole world can be our witness that we have the most noble intentions". How about that?
For example VW already has a vehicle that is running on hydrogen. In fact they had it in 1996. But huge oil companies with headquaters in US pressing all carmakers to use fossil fuel. I wonder why? Probably it is cheaper to "spread democracy" in Iraq, Iran and Russia then pay scientists for they brains. I don't want to start an advanced debate about types of fuel and orange color here

. It is just my humble opinion which you may ignore completely.
By the way. Thank you for URL to German resource. Looks interesting. I am going to read it tonight.
As of immigrant life: sorry I had never started poking my finger into other person's eye

without even knowing about that person and his/her situation, right? You know that. Don't you?

Anyway. Let us put this to bed since it is completely pointless to argue about

. Illigal immigrants know firsthand about "happy life" no matter how they are trying to pretend to be happy on this forum or anywhere else. They just don't think in terms of "what I am going to do with my life in 10-15 years from now" yet which is understandable giving their young age and non-existent life experience.
General opinion: Nice talking to you. Good luck my friend.
