is there real opposition in the U.S. that has power over Bush? Your view is very superfluous and populistic. The truth is that as opposed to the current U.S. president, Putin is extremely popular in Russia and for a good reason: compared to all previous Russian leaders who could not link 2 words (except Gorbachev), Putin is well-educated, articulate, smart, and above all, is a good manager who can make the right decision if necessary.
