If the situation was not important in many ways. It would be a great cartoon to have, over the way the Western world is running around like chickens with their heads cut off over the issues in Libya…
While Russia and China say, “Slow down and do not panic and do some things that you may regret later.” The western world is tossing sanctions in the air, crying to their mothers and freezing bank accounts and having secret little phone conversations to converse about what is happening to the precious oil situation in the world. All in the name of democracy and humanity…
Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, like the U.S. State Department, often issues statements on significant world events simply because that is what world powers are supposed to do.

Oil – Europe and America are being crippled and devastated by rising prices…
That is the difference and it has nothing to do with democracy and freedoms. Don’t let the West fool you…
Life is interesting…
