not only that, but a lot of other people in the upper echelons of moscow will see it. Which means that Putin will have to react as he cannot allow a western perception of weakness to lie. Expect a media grandstanding reaction as Putin takes control in the next couple of days.

I'd stay away from London sushi joints just to be safe. :)
Here is a TOTAL non-sequitor:
I was watching the McLaughlin Group's year-in-review show. McLaughlin accused Pat Buchanan of concentrating too much on foreign affairs, and Pat said, "Well, it wouldn't kill you to pick up an FT now and then, John!"
Other highlights, Pat Buchanan and the democrat Eleanor Clift agree the most under recognized person of the year was Howard Dean. And in the "Sorry to see you go" category, while most people picked dead celebrities, McLaughlin chose to mourn the passing of Capitalism.
Great stuff... Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
