Scott Rosenberg puts well what should be our dismay about the return of Russia to authoritarianism. Snippet:

So what if Russia’s “war on terror” is an entirely different conflict from the United States’ “war on terror”? Let’s roll these conflicts up, unite our enemies and delude ourselves that Russia’s decade-long war with Chechen guerrillas is morally aligned with the U.S.’s struggle against the perpetrators of 9/11.

Yup, President Bush looked into “Pooty-poot’s” soul and saw a good man. Now we see what happens when you base politics on appearances instead of facts..
