i think that er mr gorbachev has er seen that mr bush has only a few firmly held points of view, i mean that's one of the criticisms of george bush that he does seem to have only a few firmly held points of view on emerging democracies in eastern and central europe, but having said that, er i think he really does believe that a unified germany in nato is a key part of stability in that region, and i think that mr gorbachev recognises that on this one mr bush is not er capable of being moved.
