Putin doesn't scare me as much as Bush and Cheney. Putin is reacting to actual events in his country. Chechen rebels want to act as terrorists, Putin wants to go after them. Iraqis (and Sadam) had no tie to 9/11 - Bush sends the troops. Main reasons (so far) - it was on his agenda to go after Sadam, and to build the Haliburton coffers. Anyone who is willing to put lives before profit scares me. I don't follow his "agenda", and if, as Cheney says, my vote against him causes more terrorist attacks, I'd like to know wtf Bush and Cheney did to prevent 9/11. From what I've learned, they spent months ignoring the problem.
If Putin wants to go after real terrorists against his country, I say "More power to him!".
