[lbo-talk] Yasir... Yushchenko... Both start with "Y"

[Chris Doss]

I think the stridency in the US commentary comes from
a combination of anti-Russian ethnic lobby groups in
the US, residual anti-Sovietism, and domestic
politics: Bush's relationship with Putin is his one
and only foreign-policy success, so Bush's enemies
have to attack him on it, while the Republicans need
to water down that attack by engaging in anti-Russian
rhetoric. That's my theory anyway.
