Cheney the Diplomat?

Hey check it out: Cheney managed to give a speech with substance every American can be proud of. He specifically called out Russia for its moves away from Democracy. Russia increasingly seems to be descending into chaos. Amnesty International just issued a report saying that racial slayings are "out of control" in the country. Apparently non-whites have been slain in the street in broad daylight in cities like St. Petersburg, within close proximity of police stations. I've known people who've had to take precautions while visiting Russia because of the rampant racial violence. I'm no fan of this Vice President, but it was refreshing to hear him doing something other than scaring Americans into supporting his agenda. The coverage I've read made his speech sound statesmanlike, which I honestly didn't think the guy was capable of. Hats off Dick. Thanks for not being an ass.
