report that 5 russian planes have been shot down so far. guess we loaded them up with some good toys. we should cut a deal with the georgians; in return for materiel aid, they rename Ossetia to “New Alabama”.
Whether they are Democrat or Republican, politicians have now become a permanent class in the capital, existing along with a giant bureaucracy, operating the government for their own sake. Unless that is changed, they will simply continue to increasing until they bankrupt the country.
"Fun read and a great first effort. The characters have distinct personalities, the action is gripping and there's a sense of realism without becoming overly technical. It's a story that you think may have actually happened in the real world.

Make it that far and you'll be in for a treat. ." -- by Jim (Virginia)
