And just because Putin was/is willing to listen... I think that's just realpolitik. Obviously, the USA is a force to be reckoned with, and he might just be following his own form of "constructive engagement".
Well of course...it's not like Bush is a faith healer or anything.

In 2001, the US is in an interdependent relationship with the world. They both need each other...like it or not. I only hope that any damage Dubya does in the next 3 years is either minor or reparable.
