This story reminds me of something one of my Economics professors told us.
He said..
In America, if your neighbor comes home with a new car that you are envious of...You work harder to earn the ability to buy that car.
In Russia, if your neighbor comes home with a new car that you are envious of...You destroy the neighbor's car that we neither of you have it.

I wonder if Putin is aiming to become Czar Vladimir the Great?
Supposedly he's our ally in the War on Terror, but he's a wimp IMO because he did NOTHING to defend Russia after the Beslan horror.

This article was already posted at least twice on FR. That said, I have to ask if you know who runs Freedom House. You will find Steve Forbes and another conservative on the board, but basically they are an African-American left wing group.
