Kirsan is a Bush Poodle

German publication Der Spiegel has an article on the Kalmyk leader. On US president George Bush, Kirsan is quoted as saying:

The man provides order...he conquers countries, territories and oil wells. He gives the wells to the rich oil companies, making them even richer, and that's completely okay.

...

As long as order and discipline prevail -- what's the problem?
