What? I'm a big opponent of Putin and would like to see a more pro-EU, pro-US Russia with a liberalized economy.

It was clear to me by 2002 that he was a thug, with his war crimes in Chechnya.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

In Chechnya, maybe, but remember that between 2001 and 2005 or so, Chechnya was the bad guys, and, prior to 9-11, they were not only good, but great freedom-loving people. At least according to the media. After 9-11 they became al-queada affiliated, and by 2005 or so, the media forgot about all that

[Hash]

So? Putin still committed massive war crimes in Chechnya and destroyed 90% of that place. Regardless of whether or not the Chechen rebels/terrorists were good or bad guys, Putin committed massive human rights violations in Chechnya and elsewhere. And I say this as someone with little sympathies for the Chechen rebels.

Yea, but this thread is about how I'd vote , or at least my post is, and this is why I'd back him in '04 and encourage others to do the same (at the time anyway)
