BBC NEWS | Europe | Putin warns of 'self-defence' strikes

He's not warning us not to do it. He's warning the rest of the world that he can do it, too. Yeah, it's just Georgia. Just a sovereign nation.

Oh, and guess who else has troops in Georgia? Won't this be exciting?

Remember how, soon after 9/11, everybody jumped on Bush's "terrorist" rhetoric? Now, we get to see people using his "self defence" first strike justification, too.

Nice going, Bush. Nice to see you bringing peace to the world.
