Long time no see Dogboy! yeah, I know I really messed up the Russian visa thing. I really had a very nice time in Belarus, but now I still haven't been to modern Russia despite dying to go! Btw, why don't you share your view on the Bradley Manning thread in this forum? I'd be interested to hear what you think based on what you've said about your background. Hoping you wouldn't just say "shoot him" but something a bit more nuanced.
