In regards to the Le Monde article by Robert Kagan. Mr. Kagan is identified as a "politologue, chercheur au Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Mr. Kagan is also a member of the American Committee for Peace in the Caucasus. Isn't it good tho know that Mr. Kagan is so passionate about international peace?

Hello Tim, great blog. My thanks to BZM at Russophile for the link.
Like many aspects of conservative policy, the intonement of religion is a cover for the advancement of corporate interests. When Yeltsin was playing ball, everything was fine as far as the Economist and the Wall Street Journal were concerned. Now that Russia has resisted the corporate takeover, right wing organizations such as Freedom House and the Center for Security policy are working overtime to vilify Russia. Most Americans do not hear the other side of the story so Mr. Kasparov can appear on Bill Maher with his outrageous anti-Putin act. Maher and his audience swallowed it whole and they are supposedly thoughtful liberals.
