"I see Putin as going for Czarhood" I am sure he has a painting of Peter the Great over his bed... "It might even be GOOD for Russians, if he delivers." Look at how well Rome did when it ditched the republic. It is a model that can work well. However, if not enough attention is paid to weeding out idiot children, things spin out of control...

>I see Putin as going for Czarhood, but in the modern, behind the scenes stringpuller kind of way. It might even be GOOD for Russians, if he delivers. They like him a lot now. They really do. I was talking to this girl a couple weeks ago in Baltimore who was on an exchange program from Russia and asked her what she thought of Putin. Not only did she love him, she acted as if it were unheard of in Russia not to love him. And by the way, I'm proud to say I know enough Russian to flirt ;) -Z
