Russia has a point

Herr Bush's broken record of a plaint against Russia's repulsing Georgia's thrust in South Ossetia and Abkazia has been challenged by Moscow. Russia has a point in saying this endless, hoary refrain has more to do with putting McCain in the White House than in calming ambitions and cooling Georgia's aspiration in the southern Caucuses. Of course, western high dudgeon won't abate. The West can do little but shout and scream and stamp feet, for short of declenching a world war, it can do little but blow smoke up their collective arses. Moscow is in the catbird seat, point, score, match!
