  Russia and the West are interdependent. The USA attacked Iraq, and the oil price became twice greater in some time. The oil price became twice greater, and it is harder for Americans to pay for their houses that were bought by hypothec. What will happen if you don't let Russia pump its energy to the West? I think the oil price will become twice greater slowly. In such a way, the West can throw hundreds of Americans out of their houses.

  An interesting suggestion from Steve Levine. The Russians have a big weakness. Bush, Obama and McCain should keep in mind Russia's Achilles Heel as they deal with Putin and Medvedev. Levine knows this area, having covered wars in Chechnya, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nagorno-Karabakh, Tajikistan as well as the Soviet-Afghan war: http://oilandglory.com/2008/08/russias-achilles-heel.html

  Georgia's president was an idiot to attack Russia. I read an article where he thought the timing of his attack was brilliant. How brilliant does he feel now? What happens when you poke the bear? You face the obvious consequence. I wonder if he has learned anything? # 1 rule in fighting, pick a fight you can win. I feel sorry for his people, his leadership is a disgrace.
