The USA is a problem. It is a global problem. A rouge country, off the path of any international alliances that matter for the sake of corporate profits. Stop living in denial. It isn't just Russia that has a gripe with the USA, it's the entire world.

TEHRAN -- Tehran has welcomed Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal’s proposal to establish a nuclear consortium between Iran and the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC), Al-Alam reported on Thursday.
The six members of the PGCC are Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Oman.
In an interview with the Arabic language satellite network, Iranian Foreign Minister Manuchehr Mottaki said the Islamic Republic immediately welcomed the decision of Arab leaders who decided to develop nuclear technology as an alternative energy source to counterbalance declining fossil fuel reserves during their 2006 summit in Riyadh.
Iran has always insisted that “regional countries can participate in our peaceful nuclear program,” Mottaki added. “And the Islamic Republic of Iran has announced that it will share its valuable experiences with them under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency.”

Basically, while Bush has drained the USA of it's treasury, looked the other way on every international relationship that existed before the Iraq invasion, the global community is laughing at the USA's diminished capacity for self defense and taking advantage of a 'piss-poor' diplomatic corp with no intentions of promoting peace since it isn't profitable. There is not one major global treaty that Russia and the USA share that is being enforced. Not one. What does anyone believe will come of the meetings in Maine? A Peace Summit? Not hardly. While the Arabs are amassing cooperation with nuclear proliferation, which is illegal under any Non-Proliferation Treaty; Israel is left alone to secure it's people. In my opinion, the worst idea out of Arabia is any peace talks. They are superficial while buying time for the Saudis and Jordan to go nuclear. A nuclear Middle East is the end of civilization and they are more than half way there.
