#3 .....an embarrassment to Mr Bush, who was smiling and making small talk with Mr Putin at the Beijing Olympics as Russian aircraft were pounding Georgia,

Attending the Olympics was a mistake for this and other reasons as well. Just my opinion.

#5 Bigjim-ky - do not despair, it's not that bad with American friendship as you think.

#7 Not loss in the profound sense of it, but we had a great deal of interest in Georgia's path towards true independence and it's just been crushed under Russian tanks. That's the loss.
