Just today I read again another article that claimed that the Bush administration and in particular, Colin Powell, are not happy with the new reforms being advocated by President Putin. They claimed that after many positive democratic reforms in Russia, Russia is now going down the wrong path after Putin announced some restructuring after the tragedy in Beslan. Actually, I never recalled Powell or Bush ever saying anything positive about Russia before, so I do not see how now they can say that they think things were going well and now they are not - it is more or less that they say this every time they comment about Russia, and probably, if we looked back far enough over the past 100 years, we would find the US adminsitrations suggesting that the Czar was better for society and any change on that would hurt the empire. The Russia Bush has in view is not the same Russia, apparently, that I see and admire and have visited. I see parks, roads, railways which work and serve the public interest and a public dedicated to open debate. Maybe these are exactly the features present in Russia that Bush and Powell would like to see less of both here and at home.
