...hear Vladimir Putin tell it, he learned something about Chechnya last week. After a surprise helicopter tour of the breakaway republic, the Russian President returned to Moscow and informed his Cabinet that the capital, Grozny, looked "horrible."

There is only sad, soft Colin Powell, with oblique Pottery Barn warnings: You break it, you own it. Powell is the only war-Cabinet member who seems to be asking the right questions, but he never raises them with the President. The anguished meekness of the portrait is devastating.
