As we have read in the F.A.Z - Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung of 5th April, President Bush is visiting Russia and has a date with Russia's president  Wladimir  Putin.

As in Dancing Putin is in the man's position which means he is the one who leads.  As in Dancing he does this with movements known in advance to which the partners agree. He leads with very tiny movements pressing, drawing, turning and eye contact.

So is this meeting  all about what we in Germany call "Friede, Freude, Eierkuchen" - "Peace, Happiness, Pancakes"?

As we know both presidents will finish their jobs in a couple of months. One big difference though: whereas Mr. Bush will start cattle raising or touring with speeches everybody knows already, Mr. Putin will still have the lead in the world's tango only letting the puppets dance instead of doing the job himself.

We will have to watch the world theater go on.....
