          I dunno if you a American or not.  But i can assure you that though
Russia is a changing country.  And i for one applaud Gorbachev who rid Russia
of Communism.  Not because i am a American.  If Communism would keep Russia 
s
a Super Power to show the world that they have the power to dictate what 
ther
countries should do to solve their problems.  That i would want Russia to 
stick
with Communism.  But the truth is that Communism made the Russian people 
suffer
and though some not all of the Russian people are not happy to what Gorbachev 
has done by giving them democracy than communism in Russia.   That in the 
ong
run that Russia will be a super power again and as long the Russian 
overnment
work with the Russian people to make life better for everyone in that 
ountry.
That i hope one day they the Russian people who are not happy to what 
Gorbachev
has done would change their opinions and applaud him.  Since i know for now 
t
is rough for them, but, they been through so much with Communism they could 
go through this since at least once things get better their lives would be 
better off and filled with more happyness.  Now as for the threat of nuclear
weapons in the hands of the wrong people.  Sure it is a concern for everyone 
in the world.  But if i remember correctly the US and Russia itself are 
rying
to reinforce the security to calm down the european nations that are 
concerned.
