well lets pray that it helps him open his heart to a free and open press and elections.

Like the ones we have here, of course. No election fraud issues in this country. Nah.

And CNN, etc, are all terrific. Just look at what a great job our press is doing to report on the catastrophes and atrocities in Kosovo right now. Not one word from our "free and open press".

Ever been to Russia? I have, many, many times. I can assure you they have freedoms now that we have not seen in this country since I was born.

Why are you so defensive? The recent election, its fraud, and the coverage Putin has received are quite infamous. I wasn't aware this was even debateable. I detect and anger in you that I certainly hadn't intended.

Course having Russian ancestory I know how hot blooded you people can be, used to be that way myself.

Ever been to Russia?

I plan on it someday.

I have, many, many times. I can assure you they have freedoms now that we have not seen in this country since I was born.

No thanks to the efforts of former KGB head Putin. I admire their flat tax, and nothing makes me happier to know that Reagan defeated the Soviet war machine, but if you want to look down on my country as dreaming to be like the Russian Federation I suggest next time you visit you stay there.
