On a slightly more serious note.. it does seem that us WABBITS have taken a bit of a liking to this Putin fella.
No matter your personal opinions on the Russians or their policies we are all students/followers of world affairs and it has to be said the man is a master of the game.
If only our own leaders had a quarter of his capability... We tend to get the geese who couldnt make it anywhere else where the Russians get a man that could be a captain of industry without even putting in much effort at all.
Imagine the US with a leader of his calibre...

Chakos,
When one does not have an electorate to kick one in the nuts for nutty decision, I would imagine its easy to project strength. Russia, whatever else it might be, does not seems to be a proper democracy as of now.
Ahmadinejad, another "strong" leader is finding out how tough public opinion can be and now has to cry to big daddy Khamenei. Other "strong" leaders haver either put up barriers for any opposition (like Chavez) or have folded (like Musharraf).
I would have greater respect for a leader who can remain strong in the face of public opinion and do the right thing. In the democracies of the West and the East we have had such leaders - Lincoln, TR, FDR, Churchill, Thatcher, Reagan. In India I would say Indira Gandhi (Pre-emergency) and PV Narasimha Rao had the guts to push through their agendas and emerge shining.
