Thanks to Bush, we don't have any diplomatic clout left, either, nor can
we claim we're on the high moral road.
Therefore, there isn't much we can do to "persuade" the Russkis to leave
Georgia and not to invade any of its other former satellites.
The Europeans are not going to take the Russkies on militarily, either,
but, unlike us, they are not in the diplomatic and moral cellar, and
they can do a lot more to force reasonable behavior than we can.
The Russians don't give a damn what we think about what they are doing.
They know we are not in a position to do dick about it.
My point is, this isn't about Georgia, it's about Russia. *They are
letting the world know they are back, and *we* had better pay attention.
