And you're going to continue to hear it...from many corners. Putin's effort to manufacture a Reichstag fire through brutal his Chechnya policy has become transparent...but hey, a dictator needs to manufacture a convincing excuse for removing a government.
It adds an element of legitimacy for an illegitimate act.

I haven't read most of your (long) posts, so you may have answered this already, but what is your opposition to Putin potentially becoming dictator? The question is academic to me, since as I've stated already that I'm indifferent to Russian politics, but it would satisfy my curiosity.
