    Patricia, be real, between Putin & the American press, Putin is worse.

    I'm not really enamored of Putin. I am disgusted by American journalism.

    The American press, as far as I know and understand, doesn't blow up apartment buildings to provoke wars.

    Yes, I agree wtih you that super-rich Russian business men, by defintion, are not innocent lambs, and neither is anyone who worked at the FSB. They've all got dirty hands, but some hands are dirtier than others.

    I agree with you that Putin's guilt isn't automatic, but I am a little disturbed by how much you come down on the US press, and jump to defend an almost-dictator. You may need to readjust your badness-meter. :)
