NO ESTOY MUY SEGURO de que sea el mejor aliado que uno pueda desear, pero no deja de ser destacable la denuncia que acaba de hacer Vladimir Putin:

Russian President Vladimir Putin stepped into the U.S. political campaign on Thursday, saying the Democrats had "no moral right" to criticize President Bush over Iraq.

The Kremlin leader, answering a reporter's question in Sea Island, Georgia, suggested that the Democrats were two-faced in criticizing Bush on Iraq since it had been the Clinton administration that authorized the 1999 bombing of Yugoslavia by U.S. and NATO forces.

[...] He went on: "I am deeply convinced that President Bush's political adversaries have no moral right to attack him over Iraq because they did exactly the same.

"It suffices to recall Yugoslavia. Now look at them. They don't like what President Bush is doing in Iraq."

Russia was adamantly opposed to the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, as it has been to the U.S.-led military operation Iraq to topple Saddam Hussein.

Por lo menos Putin es coherente aunque en mi opinión se equivocara en ambos casos. No se puede decir lo mismo de otros, a uno y otro lado del Atlántico.
