Can you say Sudetenland?

I am not a liberal, and I don’t subscribe to the idea that George W. is a secular antichrist, my qualms about the (Iraq) war have always been of ones of tactics (i.e. letz fite stoopid) and strategy (this served the national interest how?). However, events in Georgia have made me decide that George W. will be vilified in the historical record, not for what he’s done, but for what he hasn’t done. George’s good friend, Vladimir Putin has been steadily reversing every democratic gain in Russia, engaging in saber rattling, and mucking about in other country’s elections and all the time George was reading from the Neville Chamberlain playbook.

Geopolitically, Putin has outmaneuvered the US and Europe, watching us become so embroiled in this war on terror that he can pretty much invade any of his neighbors and not expect much more than a hurt look from our President. Fuck Iran. This guy is actually sane, already has nukes, and is smart enough not to announce he’s going to wipe a country off the map until after he does it. I would not want to live in Eastern Europe right about now.
