On Lincoln, we agree. I would only add that almost all politicians by nature, are opportunistic sociopaths,...

I would exclude Ronald Reagan, but I cannot reasonably dispute your point.

Now that you obviously look on Lincoln form an American point of view, can you look on Putin from a Russian point of view?

Hmm. Are you saying that most Russians want to annex the lost Soviet states? I'm not sure of the popularity that Putin enjoys in Russia?... I've read that quite a few Russians are actually opposed to what's going on with his cronyism. We do know that the Russian media is again being controlled by the Kremlin, and that's a result of Putin.
Btw, agree with you also, as to Ronaldo Magnus Reagan. He was a good man and president. :-)
