slowing down global warming

Bush and Putin have met each other in Europe last week, during the G8 summit. Tensions all around, the main issue was, undoubtedly, the USA anti-missiles bases in Poland an Czech Republic.

What seemed to be a good opportunity to Bush act as a good guy, turned around in an astonishing Putin's checkmate on Bush position. Russian premier minister Vladimir Putin - far from be considered a good guy either - played one of the most strategical politic maneuver in international relationships in the last years.

Following their compatriots Kasparov and Karpov, Putin offered Bush a joint missile shield in Azerbaijan, causing all USA allies to reassess the position of their pieces in the world's board.

The once bad guy seems to be not too bad now. Good for everybody, although the skeptics are saying that a new Cold War would be their way of slowing down Global Warming...
