Is Russia back?

It's disturbing to me that we can be so complacent about our national security. Did we not learn anything from 9/11? It seems that we would have learned that it is better to be proactive instead of reactive when it comes to our security. This story is proof that we have not learned much from our history. Its' frustrating to see countries that rely on our $$$ to survive, not helping but hurting our security. All of our threats are armed with Soviet technology. I read a story a while back about the first M1 tank that was lost in combat. It was destroyed in the last gulf war by a Soviet made anti-tank weapon that was developed after the first gulf war (after an arms embargo was put in place by the UN). We send aid and import products from China and Russia and there is no doubt that they would destroy us if they could.
