Here are Anna Politkovskaya's latest ruminations on Putin and terrorism, if you're interested. This paragraph sort of stands out:
But we did it once, we can disentangle ourselves again. Naturally, I do not want a revolution - I cannot wish this on my nation or on myself. Revolutions do not turn out very well here. But it is also impossible to agree to a political winter which would grip Russia for several decades. I still want to live some more. I would like for my children to live in freedom, and that my grandchildren would be born free.
>>>I'm not an expert, I just cut and paste like everyone else here ;-)
Not so :) Here, you are a 'resident expert'. This is a compliment. No you are not expected to have all the answers. But you have excellent insight and perception for where we (ok, me) lack :)
This cute quote you have on your profile?
"Russia is the only country where the past is unpredictable."
The US has fallen victim to this too. I am a victim of the NEA (thank you Kennedy) public school system. History has been edited :(

Fascinating link. If have any more on the subject, feel free to post it on this thread.
Ahh Anna Politkovskaya, the Soros, Friends of Gore and EU's favorite journalist. And she has such pretty words for Bush too.
