...difference between the Yeltsin and Putin eras isn't simply based on the outlook of each leader: The 400% increase in world oil prices since Yeltsin left office has made a world of difference to the possibilities open to Russia's foreign policy. Yeltsin presided over a once great power reduced to penury and dependent on IMF handouts; Putin is running a booming oil state, which earned around $113 billion from oil exports last year (and a further $30 billion from natural gas exports). Which is why rising global demand for oil created by economic growth may be bad news...
...twisted roads. Anyone here remember Lucy and Desi in The Long, Long Trailer, way back in 1954? No? That?s too bad. But surely you recall Albert Brooks?s best movie, Lost in America (1991). Our movies - especially the supposedly funny ones - are so relentlessly middle class in outlook, so often concentrated on the romantic anguish of people who are all lifestyle yet in some ways life-deprived.

...then there are the issues. The Kurdish, Sunni and U.S. objections to Jaafari were based less on style than substance, and it's not clear Maliki will be very different: critics, for instance, saw Jaafari as wedded to a sectarian outlook that precluded offering greater power to the Sunnis in the hope of drawing them in, unwilling to rein in the militias associated with his own sect, and (in the case of the Kurds) hostile to a federalism that would allow the creation of de facto-independent regions. One early test will come over the next month as Maliki cobbles...
