A simple explanation of why the Russian "energy weapon" idea is not true would do wonders for easing some of the anxiety that makes people on Daily Kos think that the Russians are evil and must be destroyed.

Remember what I said about Obama opposing the Iraq war because he thought it was the wrong war, not because war is wrong.  And the difference is lost on his supporters.  Because they are afraid. And it's having the information why they needn't be afraid that allows them to escape that.  

But, alas we are all kept in the dark, and forced to listen to stories of how Russia invaded Georgia, missung that vital part about Georgia's attack on South Ossetia.
