Georgia and me...

... we seem to have a lot in common. We're both the little kid who wants big powerful friends so when we're faced with a fight with a bigger boy, we can go crying to them to help us not get pounded. It's almost pathetic to watch the president all but get on his knees and beg for American aid against the big bad Russians. As I say, though, I can see where he's coming from. I'm more than familiar with the ploy of hanging around the cool kids hoping they'll let you join in their games and stop people beating you up for your dinner money. And they don't come much bigger than Russia, after all.

I seem to have compared a major international incident -- a war, no less -- to a playground dispute. Maybe I should be working for BBC news...
