Great. With the War on Terror spreading forces out, the Russians are trying to restart the Cold War. Round up the peaceniks and send them to Russia where they can beg for peace all they want.

FOXNews.com - British Fighter Jets Scrambled as Russian Bombers Approach Airspace - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News: "Fighter planes from Britain and Norway scrambled on Friday to keep watch on Russian bombers that were approaching the countries' air space, officials said.

The incidents occurred amid high tensions between Britain and Russia, as each country ordered the expulsion of four diplomats from the other side. There was no indication that the fighter plans were connected to the row.

Norwegian military spokesman Lt. Col. John Inge Oeglaend told The Associated Press said his country's F-16s were sent into action twice: once when two Russian Tu-95 bombers headed south along the Norwegian coast in international air space. They turned around above Aberdeen on Scotland's North Sea coast.

In the second, two Tu-160 bombers were spotted flying near Norwegian air space over the Barents Sea, he said.

Oeglaend characterized the incidents as routine and but said it was a 'bit unusual that the first two bombers went so far south.' Aberdeen's latitude is about 50 miles below the southern tip of Norway."
