Look at Putin.
Ping.
Nobody should assume anything based upon one press conference in which Presidents Bush & Putin fielded a few questions, said some nice things about each other, and shook hands and smiled.
There are without doubt many issues between America and Russia these days, but for the most part they no longer need to be viewed as our Number One Enemy. I wouldn't turn my back on any of them for a second (and they probably feel the same way about us), but as our late 40th President Ronald Reagan said so well,
"Trust but Verify".
And I'm sure we are doing both.
bump / ping!
