Wow! I Just Watched Gary Kasparov on "Hardball" and..

…the guy is incredibly impressive. I’ve never heard a more incisive analysis of geopolitical game playing than the one he just gave. His analysis of the Bush-Putin-Iran game of three dimensional chess is revealing. (If I find an MSNBC transcript I’ll post it). His description of how Putin is outplaying Bush in geopolitical chess is persuasive. His critque of U.S. failure to stand for human rights in Russia is saddening. His description of what Putin’s state is really like (“a police state, a corporate state a KGB Corporation” something like that) is convincing. His courage is inspiring.

He’s running for President of Russia a hopeless but important statement. I wish I could vote for him.
