Read the stuff from Time's Person of the Year 2007 where they chose Putin: http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/personoftheyear/ (Particularly the interview under "A Bible, but no e-mail") Then think about Putin's mindset, and what that means for the way that he (and Russia as a whole) feels towards the US. Now change gears, and think "malware", and then think "RBN", and ponder our chances of doing much better at getting at the root causes of those two than just playing whack-a-mole with Intercage and McColo. This shit is *all* connected...
