RE: Russia a member of NATO!

Disband NATO.

The coldwar is over, ties between the US and Europe are extremely weak. NATO is an easy gateway for the US to continue its war on terrorism. I’m in favour of a European alliance (the West-European Union already exists), which could replace NATO in Europe. Solana, the EU- foreign expert, already quit his job at NATO, because he sees no real future in this organisation (and maybe because the pay cheque is a little higher :-)).
