- Will Russia get away with it?
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Post-Intelligencer
  Not that I ever agree with Bill Kristol - but I am glad he highlighted what I saw as one of the most pathetic aspects of Bush's Russia diplomacy failures. Georgia is the Republic with the third highest number of troops in Iraq - after Britain (2,000). So, while they are fighting Bush's war in Iraq, they lack 2,000 men at home to defend themselves against dictator Putin. Bush has failed to address Russia's democratic collapse throughout his entire term. It's one of his greatest failures.

- Russia, Georgia troops battle on border
  Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
  The fighting, which devastated the capital of Tskhinvali, threatened to ignite a wider war between Georgia and Russia, and escalate tensions between Moscow and Washington. Georgia said it was forced to launch the assault because of rebel attacks; the separatists alleged Georgia violated a cease-fire.

- Pushing the envelope of journalism until it’s inside-out
  Posted by RussWellen from Scholarsandrogues
  If Afghanistan was Russia's Vietnam, Chechnya is its Iraq. A candidate for bravest woman of this young century, Anna Politkovskaya paid the ultimate price for her reporting on how much the Chechnyan people have suffered.

  Posted by theangryindian from Times Online
  Russia warned Britain tonight its decision to expel four Russian diplomats over the murder of Alexander Litvinenko would have "the most serious consequences". The Cold War-style expulsions - the first in a decade - were announced in an emergency Commons statement this afternoon by David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary.

PROTECTION FROM WHAT???????????????
How can you think they are great? A country that has a weaker economy, lower cultural level, higher criminal level, and lower lifestyles. A country that supplies prostitution (with a high infectuous disease rate), drug and arms trafficking because of a corrupted regime and army, etc.
We are apart of a great regime that has more liberties than I care to extend. A country that still favors INDEPENDENCE!!!!!!!!! AND FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!
As far as being over in Iraq.
We made our move to help stop the war on terror. What has Russia done? We have taken our own means to "HELP" rebuild a country that counld one day become great again.
What positive influence has Russia had on this world???????

Communists are great !
Don’t you think the fight is perfectly similar with the Korean War in 1951 between China and America ?! Just a kind of self-protection. Much better than the invaders!
The real guy who needs to stay where they belong is the one who should GET AWAY FROM IRAQ right now !!!

I imagine, in a more advanced VR environment, they might animate a different, less stressful outcome. Like they could animate a brightly colored spray of candy or presents instead of sharpnel and body parts parts strewn about the blast site. Maybe a little, "atta boy," or "outstanding" followed by canned cheering from a studio audience when a particularly good strike is executed.
This scenario of positively re-enforcing the kill could ease the pain of human slaughter and give a real sense of total accomplishment. The possibilities are endless. I wonder if drone pilots get better VA benefits than the rest of the "combat" vets do?

Putin takes swipe at Cheney
Cheney's comments about Russia use of natural gas supplies as a coercive tool is on the mark. And Putin's right that Cheney is a jackass.
