I almost didn't comment here, but since almost no one else was and since the bulldog sort of injected some reality here, I decided I'd go ahead and comment. It was a hard call, but I finally decided, what the hell, why not give the kid a comment. No rec, though. With just one rec, people might think you recommended your own post.

None, of course. Anyone, anywhere in the world, had to get a chuckle out of the U.S. criticizing Russia for seeking "regime change" in Georgia.
The State Department, BTW, is now distancing itself from Saakashvili's claims of a planned U.S. military presence.
The Russians, however, took the idea seriously enough to halt any troop withdrawal, and push forward in places.
According to Britain's Telegraph, Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said, "We understand that this current Georgian leadership is a special project of the United States, but one day the United States will have to choose."
I think by that he means TODAY.

What moral authority do we have to denounce Russia for invading a sovereign country?
