Why is Russia in the G8? It is far from a consolidated democracy, or a fully developed economy. But Russia is already in the club, so the best approach would be to try to make it one of us.

Venkat:

Mr. Vázquez. Why is West always hell bent on "Either you are with us else you are against us"?

Who has given you the 'divine' right to make everyone fall into your narrow yardsticks. This is born out of most poisonous bacteria cum virus cum fungus that has poisoned your systems- UTTER INTOLERANCE aka christianity. Spain and Portugal are amongst the most evil nations history has ever seen and yet you talk of Russia. You still have Opus dei and you people talk of KGB or FSB.

Inhumans that you are, you talk of the human rights. You punish a Milosovich for the crimes he committed yesterday, when will this UN punish Spain, Portugal and the Vatican for the annihilation of superior civilizations, genocides and the Inquistion? Butchering present Spain, Portugal and Italy would still not equal to the miseries you have caused the world. For starters please disrobe your cassocked fraudsters; declare Christianity barbaric and cruel cult and make it illegal for anyone to proselytise the utter lies it's propagates. Once Spain and Portugal does this it can climb the high horse. Otherwise stop tilting against the windmills.
