"Russia doesn't play by the rules, BWAAAAAH!"

Or so says conservatives. I saw a link to an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal titled "How the West Can Stand Up to Russia". I thought it would be hilariously stupid and it didn't dissapoint. It's written by two corporate welfare recipients from the American Enterprise Institute (conservatives get paid to be stupid, it's like MTV's Jackass, but for intellectuals). Before advocating for the shipment of military material to Georgia in the hopes of recreating 1980s Afghanistan, they complain of Russia not follwing the rules.

In a speech before the Munich Conference on Security Policy in February last year, Mr. Putin made it clear that Russia would no longer accept the rules of the international road as set by the democratic West. It was an in-your-face challenge to the U.S. and Europe, and we blinked.

Uh, sorry, but which international law gave permission to the US to invade Iraq? Bush's "you're either with us or you're with the terrorists" was even more hostile than Putin's middle-finger. It's the same dumbasses who though a war in the Middle-East was a good idea who are now creaming their panties at the thought of a new cold war. That's what they always wanted anyway, ever since the Berlin Wall fell. They tried the War on Terror for a while, but it wasn't the same. Fighting religious conservatives when you're one yourself gets confusing after a while.
