Seven years ago, at their first meeting in Ljubljana, Slovenia, Bush looked into Putin’s eyes and somehow spotted the soul of a Christian gentleman, not that of a secret policeman. Next week, they shouldn’t be surprised if they see a mirror of each other, because both men have exemplified the arrogance of power.
下周的八国集团（G8）峰会很可能是布什总统和普京总统的告别演出了。七年前，当他们在斯洛文尼亚的卢布尔雅那初次会面时，布什从普京的眼中似乎看到了一位基督教绅士，而不是一个秘密警察的灵魂。下周，如果他们发现彼此互为镜像也不必惊奇，因为两人都是权力傲慢的例证。
