On the Paranoiac Neocon Fear that Russia Will Somehow Take Control of the Middle-East

Do these idiots simply not know history; the fact that whenever a country (even the seemingly powerful ones) attempts to insert itself into the middle of a civil war (France and the U.S.A. in Vietnam, the U.S.S.R. in Afghanistan, the Israelis in Lebanon, etc.) BAD THINGS TEND TO HAPPEN?......That and wasn't it them who got us involved in Iraq in the first place......and so why in the hell should we listen to 'em at all?
