Russians are acting an awful lot like us

I had to cringe in disbelief when I heard President George W. Bush tell the world that Russia had no moral or legal right to invade Georgia.

So far the formally undeclared war, replete with their version of "shock and awe," has already claimed more than 2,000 lives, mostly civilian, and no doubt many more before a cease fire is declared.

Who does Russia think it is, the United States?

Who does Vladimir Putin think he is, George Bush?
