I don’t know about the binary code of the universe, but I do remember a story my father told me about certain friends.
During a torrential downpour, a horse decides to swim across a rapidly swelling ravine to get to higher ground. A scorpion comes along side him and begs him to let him hop on the horse’s head so his life can be saved. The horse asks, “I could crush you now, but why would I carry you, when you can bite me when my hoofs are busy paddling underwater? The scorpion replied, “Surely you can crush me now, and if you leave me behind I will surely drown, but if you decide to save my life, I will bite your enemies. Besides,why would I bite you during the crossing, if I do , you’ll drown and we’ll both die!”
The horse reflected, and although not fully trusting the scorpion, he saw the reason in his argument. Midway through the crossing the horse felt the sharp sting of the scorpion on his head. Startled, the horse screamed “Now what did you do that for! Now I will drown and we will both die!”
To which the scorpion replied: “What can I say? I’m a scorpion!”

Putin has been murdering his own people as a pretext for war since the Moscow apartment buildings (the last of which was mistakenly announced in the Duma 2 days before it happened), facilitating terrorists strikes in Moscow (the lone escapee from the Moscow theater hostage crisis surfaced a couple of years later boasting of his FSB connections), etc.
The Georgia operation is straight out of the old playbook. We somehow decided it would be in our best interests to spare him during the difficult war on terror, and even “carry him” by inviting him to G8, combined NATO excercises, and turning a blind eye when he assasinated Litivenko in London. He has now bitten us because, of course, he is a scorpion.
