Back to a cold war

Today... Russian President Vladimir Putin suspended the application of a key Cold War arms control treaty.

There is no doubt a cold-war like chill in US-Russian relations recently... but now is the time to act and move in a positive direction instead of letting things escalate. I doubt our leaders are capable of avoiding rhetoric and nationalistic "chest-thumping" to achieve this.

Thanks, Bush & Putin for taking us back to a very harrowing past.Why, oh Why!

Obligatory Bush joke: Looks like he finally bought into the global warming theories and to prevent the world from heating up decided to take us back to a cold place. He heard we had a cold war in the 60s and wants to take us back there.
