The first thought that came to me upon hearing about the Russian incursion into Georgia was that someone should immediately send some unmanned drone aircraft armed with Hellfire missles into Georgia and take out the lead Russian tanks. Don’t say anything just keep taking out the tanks till they were all out of the country. Then go back to the Olympics. End of story.

Russia has a glittering destiny before it? Since when? Being dragged down to a slaughter in Israel is not my notion of a glittering destiny. Wretchard?
