US Senator: Russia More Fearful Than N. Korea

US Senator Jay Rockefeller has made a sensational declaration. At the time when Presidents Bush and Putin are meeting in Bratislava, he has said that Russia presents even a greater threat to the world than North Korea.

According to the Senator (Democrat), nuclear materials from Russia may have possibly gotten in the hands of terrorists, who may be planning new attacks on the United States. The Senator claims that about half of the nuclear materials from Russia have already disappeared.

Therefore, based on these hearsay allegations, Rockefeller is wondering whether Russia presents a greater threat in the field of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction than N. Korea. So Rockefeller believes that debates should be initiated to determine who presents today a greater threat to the world.

Meanwhile, in the Slovakian capital where Presidents of Russia and the US are holding talks, people think that Vladimir Putin is a better guarantor of democracy than George Bush. According to opinion polls, this opinion is shared by 43% of the Slovaks, while only 39% of the respondents named Bush as a guarantor of world democracy.
