I think the nature of NATO have changed drastically for what it once was. Defend against the big "ugly" Siberian Bear who was the evil itself... (not that I believe it..) After the USSR was fallen, and the new Russian country want to make their way, the neo-liberal system who was put in place ruined millions, and was in some way also killing of Russia as we know it.. But after 2000 we have seen a resurrecting of Russia as never before.. And the neo-liberal and the neo-cons are scared as hell about the possibility that Russia once again can raise from the ashes and go their own way this time.. The neoliberal system THEY wanted Russia to have, have in many ways played wrong, and even that they do got some horrible rich, most of the russians was not been par of this, but rather on the losers end, poor dirt poor..

NATO as we know it will survive for a long time regardless of what will came, but I hope the nature of NATO could change from what is is today, to a more defensive alliance, who is to defend their member states, and not to attack others.. Before 1999 the whole concept of NATO going into country like Afghanistan was almost stupid even to think about.. And now NATO are in Afghanistan, with no easy exit out in reach.. In fact I fear NATO could be stuck in Afghanistan for the last 10 year or so.. Much thank to your clown in charge mr Bush..
