I copied this from an e-mail

I got an e-mail today from a childhood friend who served in the us airforce for over 30 years!
I think he has made a point! you see in our grade school classes were kids who couldn't speak english and their parents were told not to let them speak their families langaue but to only speak english.
by the time we got to the sixth grade few had any accent!
In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia , to work and eat in Russia , should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need minorities. Minorities need Russia , and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We better learn from the suicides of America , England , Holland and France , if we are to survive as a nation. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of most minorities. When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the national interest first, observing that the minorities are NOT Russians!"

The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a standing ovation that lasted for five full minutes . . . . . .
How come our leaders don't have the gonads to say that ?

what do you think?
