>>>>>>>>>As for 9/11, I did not express nothing of the sort. I expressed my doubts/questions of what does not make any sense to me. What bothers my logic even today after 7 years passed. When I cannot put peaces together that naturally rises my curiosity. When part of simple 'math problem' is 3000 lives, that makes me angry on top of it. I have no 'beliefs' in respect of 9/11, just questions.

The guys have got a free pass for no good reason... except that they switched from 7 to 5 years in 2002. But then, I'm still amazed that nobody had the presence of mind to call 7 years of Valéry Giscard d'Estaing and 14 years of François Mitterand what they were - pure antidemocratic dictatorship.

Putin was fortunate to start at the lowest point in all categories that you mention. One may figure out that now, when oil price has changed direction, he is fortunate again by having another guy to take formal beating.
