One way to think of the Georgian crisis

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

Georgia's move against South Ossetia = Israel's last invasion of Lebanon

Russia's move against Georgia = US invasion of Iraq

Kind of a dog shit vs. cat shit argument. (But cat shit is slightly better.)

1. I know I'm behind the curve, but...

Who pissed who off and why? Was this always going to happen sooner or later?

2. Have you ever smelled fresh cat shit?

Dog shit might produce quantity, but cats produce fetid quality.

It's a tossup.

The only advantage to cat shit is that it grosses the cat out, too, so the cat buries it quickly.
