Yeah, well, those idiots in the White House had better get used to saying "pretty please", because after wiping ourselves out on Iraq, that's about all we can do. It's pretty please to the Russians to back off even though we can't do squat to stop them, and pretty please to Europe to exercise some of the moral authority we find ourselves having none of in the aftermath of the last 8 years. Hope there are some folks out there who are kinder than we were to Iraq.

Fact: Georgia killed 2000 innocent civilians in a sneak attack. These were people who didn't want to be part of Georgia. Who in our administration OK'd this war crime? How did they expect Russia to respond? We set the example for pre-emptive war and disrespect for the sovereignty of other nations. To criticize Russia now makes us look very hypocritical.
