What does the free world think about Putin as a person?

Just like to see what topics I agree with the public on.

I think he is generally a strong leader and a smart man. I know that he is ambitious and has the potential to be dangerous.

I know he could be dangerous ... I think he would make a good friend for the U.S. :-)

@Dainbramadge: I think Russian US cooperation would definately be a good thing. But one must be careful, because recent action by the Russians should not be condoned, and there are some significant ideology issues between the two. But the Russian government is not all as shady as we are often lead to believe and the American government is often quite a bit shadier than we think.

That being said, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
