Now we're confronted with an ex-KGB agent who has been publicly bemoaning the fall of the Soviet Union, has been pushing his nation backward to the darkness, is now making his move to take over the government, muzzle the media and raise his Soviet empire from the ashes...and some people in America are worshiping him.

The media gives americans a terribly shallow view of foreign governments, especially those not-so-nice governments like russia, china, north korea, and of course our friends in cuba. My own comments about russia above have nothing to do wiht the general disinformation about russia that is what passes for news in the US.

He's the leader of his government, and as noted,
"... Whenever an extrodinary claim of a "government conspiracy" arises, I get suspicious ..."People want to believe good things about leaders even if that leader is in another country, unless that leader is denounced by one of our own leaders. That's why Reagan's "evil empire" comment made such a huge difference; for the first time, our leader pointed out the truth.
Our leader today hasn't denounced Russia's president, so in the eyes of the majority of our citizens, he's a "good guy," and all those who talk against him are "kooks."
