Been there. We send in the SecState and she flaps on about 60s. Then the Russians blow up Georgia's ammo dumps. So if you're not calling for escalation then I'm not sure what it is you think we should be doing. Either way, I don't agree with you assessment about Russia. For them this is about two things: (1.) "Hey America. Stay the fuck out of our neighborhood." (2.) "Hey Georgia. Remember when you fucked us over during that soviet break up? Well fuck you." And the polish thing is part of point #1. As is the Ukraine thing. >From what I can tell our only options are to back off or send in some diplomats who know what they're doing; and that ain't going to happen until Obama is elected. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:266326 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
