windbreaks and missiles

As long as I live, the sight of a long line of eucalyptus with a palm tree or two in the distance will make me feel at home. I'm glad the builders left those.

This war in Georgia terrifies me.

An unstable proxy war in a crazy part of the world when we have a lame-duck war-crazy president. I just get all twitchy.

The US could use it as an excuse to try to show Russia who's boss, which is what Georgia seems to hope Bush will do since he's a lame duck. Personally, I think that would go over so badly (since we can't even spin it at "these guys are Muslim terrorists", they're xenophobic ethnocrats) that nothing will come of it. I'd be willing to place a small bet.
