I guess that is what its like to have no morals to stick to.<BR/><BR/>I have to say i'm happy to see Russia haven't gone in half heartedly. I hope they keep it up and spend the next week or two taking out every bit of Georgian military until they have nothing left. And unlike those cowards at NATO i bet they wont resort to targeting civiliansRobstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08080913377547236519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9230592.post-39225562407492566372008-08-10T14:28:00.000-04:002008-08-10T14:28:00.000-04:00I know the expression, indeed. The problem with it...I know the expression, indeed. The problem with it is that Americans - and Europeans, to a great extent - have moved away from objectively defined morality. So, in their view, bombing as such is neither good nor evil, it's the identity of the bomber. If Americans do something, it is by definition good.

Back when Kosovo illegally declared "independence" from Serbia, areas like South Ossetia were mentioned as wanting to do the same thing. <BR/>George Will, on ABC this morning, said something to the effect that "horrors! we have a major power invading and dropping bombs on a European country..." as if it had never happened before. <BR/>Do you know the expression, "what's good for the goose....."
