I haven't really talked about it..because so many others have covered it far more indepth and I have nothing serious to add that has already been said by better, and those who know far more about the conflict than I.  My observations now that a ceasefire has been supposedly accepted by the Russians is this...does anyone get the feeling that the cold war is coming back?

Gab at Ace has probably covered this conflict the best.  And, I cannot stress enough how it seems this war caught everyone (ok nearly everyone) by surprise.  Who woulda thought that the Russians would have pulled some stunt like this while the Olympics were going on?  <cough Munich 72 cough>

Now reports of attrocities and photoshopping are being reported.  Umm....reminds me of some country...I cant think of the name...wait it will come to me..in a second...oh yeah Israel!

I wish that there was more the US could do.  If Bush was not a lame duck President we might actually do more than what we are doing, which is not much.  I do not believe we are stretched thin by any stretch of the imagination and our military is more than strong enough to take on this burden, because lets remember, this is the first time the Russians have faced a war since they got their asses handed to them in Afghanistan!  Stop the aggression now before it spreads or else where are you going to draw the line?  When the Russians step in for "regime change" in the Ukrane?  Estonia?  Latvia?  Poland?  The Czech Republic?  Think I am wrong, I don't think so.  If Putin had his way he would restore the Russian Empire to the way it was during the height of the Cold War.
