Also, in Russian, the words for "world" and "peace" are the same word, and there is no word "the" in Russian. So, in Russian, the sentence "we want peace." is identical to "we want the world.". Maybe that's why there is so much Russian-phobia in the White House (Pravda prints "We want peace" and all the president's men report to him "Russia announced it plans to take over the world again!" Or maybe that's why Russia is always trying to knock over small countries - to them the only way they can get peace is to rule the world - it is built into the language. :-) [Or maybe :-(] Take your pick, according to your political views.
