Anti-nuclear proliferation seems to be a bigger issue -- it's going to be tough to put that genie back in the bottle anywhere, though, and Obama/Biden aren't talking about attacking Iran, thank goodness.
Yes, this worries me too, as well as Nato expansion. It is all good and proper to call NATO "an instrument of bringing peace" (by Condoleeza Rice's words, though I don't remember them exactly) but planning of putting new nuclear warheads next to Russia is worrying me. Remember - "Peace is our profession!"
I'm glad to hear that someone is saying "give them infrastructure, help them rebuild, help them to have something to offer that's countering the Taliban" when it comes to policies with Afghanistan.

This is definitely a positive thing.
