Hi fabooooooj! Someone was kind enough to point me this way from dkos when I inquired about your absence. Can't wait to read trough-- and I'm glad to know all's well! (I was worried--there are only so many old timers left over there.)

It is difficult for Bush to adopt a moral stance. After all he invaded a sovereign nation and forced regime change himself. Putin can argue that he too, like Bush, is merely defending Russian citizens and using force in order to do so.
I also found the comments of our British foreign secretary hypocritical. He accused Russia of 19th Century behavior by forcibly taking land. However Britain's continued occupation of The Falkland Islands and Gibralter is as about 19th century as you can get.
Russia has been an out of control thug for some time. Recent events are pretty much what one would expect from them.
The West however has lost much of the moral high ground which I find the saddest thing of all. There don't seem to be any good guys around anymore.

OMG, it's almost like you're channelling him or something. I could even hear the fake Texas accent and see him back handing the beach volleyball chick (WTF chick? Seriously, you let him touch you?).
