There is nothing wrong about that. Peraphs that Russia and the USA should waste less money for military hardwares and initiate a new World' governance, simply by examplarity. We deserve better than the present planetry diplomatic deceitful show, actually in action (cynical, machiavelic comedian like Sarkozy should never been elected. Consequently, we must question our hability to select decent leaders). Think Positive ! Sincerely. Jean-Claude Meslin
