Hi again, Bob,
>What did ya do turn on the tele or look in your cristalball to predict this?
You want a crystal ball? A few weeks down the track Grosny will be a hole
in the ground, Moscow will have reluctantly agreed to Wasington's 'moral'
pleas to withdraw their regulars, Bislan Gantamirov will be in charge of a
puppet government in Chechnya, and Vladimir Putin will be Russia's new
president - saying lots of proudly nationalistic, independent and butch
things to keep Russia's rediscovered sense of potency alive, whilst doing
exactly what Washington requires of him. Everyone who effectively matters
just now would be more than happy with that, doncha think?
And, yeah, telly, a coupla papers, and years of disappointment in how
things turn out constitute my crystal ball. Sad, eh?
Cheers,
Rob.
