I'm not belittling you, thinktank.
You say you're wonderinf why the USA is adamant about Russian democracy and I encapsulated 50 years of cold war history. Thst's essentially why the Admin is disturbed by events in Russia and the scaling back of Russian freedoms.
BTW, remember the schoolhouse terror thing. Afterwards, Putin vowed to "crush the terrorists". Since then, he's done nothing except seize more power and curb civil liberties, all in the name of fighting terror. Does that trouble you? It troubles me, and it apparently troubles the Bush Admin enough to speak up about it.
