From the Not The Onion Department. McCain in the WSJ this morning:

[I]n the 21st Century nations don't invade other nations.

Re: I have a diary in the works (none / 1)

You obviously don't understand. There's a huge difference between the U.S. liberating Iraq and Russia invading Georgia. Two completely different situations, that can be extrapolated:

U.S. liberates Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan: Good.
Russia invades Ukraine, Estonia, Lithuania: Bad.

The major difference I can see is that one invasion bankrupted the invader financially, while the other will not.

The cover of the latest Private Eye has a photo of Bush and Rice under the headline "U.S. CONDEMNS RUSSIA":

Rice: How dare the Russians invade a sovereign state...

Bush: That's what we do.
