I am terrified of Vladimir Putin

This piece from last week's New Yorker explains why you, too, should be scared.

The best part: last July, the Russian parliament actually passed a law to allow the assassination of "enemies of the Russian regime" abroad.

As one observer helpfully explained:

"This guy [Putin] is a K.G.B. guy... This guy issues a law allowing the Russians to kill opponents abroad. So they kill opponents abroad."

But you don't have to worry, it is okay. Because when Bush met Putin, he looked into his heart and soul and he just knew that the U.S. and Russia "can work together in a positive way."
