The United States, Russia & Iraqi oil

[Chris Doss]

Yukos, Russia's second biggest oil company, has been especially active
in an
effort to spruce up the tarnished image of the Russian business
community by
donating money to charities, reaching out to Wall Street and courting
the
political establishment in Washington. The message of Yukos and its
chairman, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, is that the bad old days of Russian
capitalism are over and that Russia's new business elite is ready for a

long-term partnership with the United States.

Khodorkovsky was in Washington, DC, last week. Hoffman of the Post wrote one 
of the most embarassing pieces of journalistic felallatio on him I have ever 
seen in my life. That guy must be able to unhinge his jaw like a snake or 
something.
