Having spent the last few hours taking a self-imposed crash course on the region and catching up with the latest reports, there is one aspect of this whole thing I find perplexing- the behavior of George W. Bush. He seems to be enjoying himself (in spite of his argument with Putin), basking in the glow of the Olympic spirit. I wonder if he has an ace up his sleeve?
This whole thing had to have been telegraphed by Russia. We must have seen it coming. Are the Russians marching towards disaster?
