Calm down, Dave.  While much has been made of Kruschev's "We will bury you"
remark, I have heard that what he actually said was a common Russian idiom
that means something like "We will dance on your grave", i.e., we will be
around to celebrate when you have crumbled into dust.  It did not imply that
any action would be necessary on Russia's part to ensure this eventuality.

Anyone out there who knows Russian well enough to verify or dispute this?

Not that I place any particular faith in Russia's goodwill toward the U.S.,
but I hate popular misconceptions being spread through the net.
