Does that mean that if I visit Russia, have dinner at Cafe Pushkin with some opposition members, and talk to the waiter, that I know everything about Russia and I can decide about Russia's future? LOL!
If I lived in Russia for a whole year, I probably still wouldn't know enough to even vote. But McCain thinks he knows everything after 1 trip.

I lived in Russia two years and still would not even dare to claim I know everything about it! To really understand a country, you have to live there your whole life. And even then... well, America can still baffle me!
