Russia More Dangerous Under Putin Than Khrushchev

When a national leader is willing to assassinate his perceived enemies in foreign lands using dangerous radioactive materials, he is no longer a "president," "prime minister," nor "general secretary." At that point he is a despot, a dictator, and a terrorist. Yes, Vladimir Putin is a terrorist. He wants us to believe that those fighting for their freedom in Chechnya are terrorists, but that is not the case. If the freedom fighters of Chechnya are terrorists, then George Washington, Paul Revere, and Patrick Henry were terrorists. George Bush has given a terrible tool to the heads of states who are trying to quell groups fighting for their freedom. All they need to do is label the groups as terrorists. After that, they can unleash hell upon anyone whom they "suspect" as being a "terrorist." President Bush's meeting with Vladimir Putin speaks volumes about where the real threat to our freedoms lie.
