Only their techniques are different. Vladymir is much more imaginative - like the mob. Bashar uses what works.

I would have been successful too if the bloody turnip leaf didn't keep bending every time I stabbed myself.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm biased, prejudiced, etc. etc., but if anyone dies in Russia, even if it's from the common cold - the Russian government is probably behind it.<BR/><BR/>It's interesting to think how much times have changed since the 70's. Back then, Russia was moving tanks into Israel using tunnels. Nowadays they can pretty much do it out in the open. <BR/><BR/>It wouldn't surprise me if Bush is financing it. Not that I'm prejudice, believe in conspiracy theories or that turnips are a government plot to terrify little children or anything. :]Yobeeonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067866336964665242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-13709432511724648762007-09-23T15:43:00.000-04:002007-09-23T15:43:00.000-04:00LOL Lemon.****And all the while the BBC blathers o...LOL Lemon.<BR/><BR/>****<BR/><BR/>And all the while the BBC blathers on about the Russian middle class (is there a Russian middle class?) being infatuated with Putin's pecs. Okay, so he's not an old, baffoonish drunk like Yeltsin at least with the old school Cold War Russian hardliners you knew what they were up to and where they stood.Keli Atahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089132216830000713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-65380736877315360842007-09-23T14:12:00.000-04:002007-09-23T14:12:00.000-04:00Many orange purchases have driven Russians to suic...Many orange purchases have driven Russians to suicide. I heard that Catherine the Great once became suicidal over even bananas. Hence the term, "gone bananas".<BR/>Russians can be very fruity people and this is the result.<BR/>Sorry, I couldnt resist.<BR/><BR/>Russia is business as usual as the book by Golitzin warned. The perestroika, the glastnost, the fall of the USSR.. all a circus show put on for people.<BR/>Nothing changes.<BR/>The horrendous thing now is that certain Jewish groups are luring Jews back to Russia. I feel they are working for the government just as many of the priests of the Orthodox church were agents of the Soviets.Chana @ Lemon Lime Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-55325148603034308452007-09-23T14:05:00.000-04:002007-09-23T14:05:00.000-04:00According to the international Committee to Protec...According to the international Committee to Protect Journalists, Russia is the third deadliest country for journalists.<BR/><BR/>Regarding this case specifically, CPJ writes that initially it was ruled a suicide then they looked into the possibility of classifying it as an "incitement to suicide" in other words, someone or some organization provoking the "suicide" through threats and abusive treatment."<BR/><BR/>The only reason it was apparently classified as a suicide was the absence of foul play. There's some confusion over the oranges as the CPJ reports that they were scattered, which could have resulted from a struggle.<BR/><BR/>http://www.cpj.org/news/2007/europe/russia12sep07na.html<BR/><BR/>To my way of thinking, that isn't suicide either.<BR/><BR/>In the US, anytime there is an unattended death it is assumed to be a homicide and is investigated. In Russia where this man was a high-ranking military officer (colonel I believe), a military correspondent and writing about arms sales to the Middle East, and from a personal standpoint an unlikely potential suicide victim they didn't so much as bother to check his computer.<BR/><BR/>It all screams murder not suicide. And as we've seen with the other cases in which Russians have been poisoned, the government is quite good at masking murders.Keli Atahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089132216830000713noreply@blogger.com
