Oh what a lovely war!

Used to be, in the old days, nations would
put down their spears, swords, and shields,
call a truce and go off to the Olympic
Games for a week or two of peaceful sport
before heading back to the battlefield.

This year Georgia, a country of swarthy
people in a region next to Turkey called
the Caucausus, waited until most of the
world's leaders were in Beijing and most
of the world was sitting down watching the
Olympic Opening Ceremony to open an offensive
on a Russian protectorate called South
Ossetia. Not a good idea, as they have learned
since last Friday.

To read an irreverent, politically incorrect yet
hilarious, incisive and spot-on account of this
little adventure, run, do not walk, to the lair
of the War Nerd, who continues to broadcast from
the Exile website, the home of a now-banned
English language newspaper in Moscow, Putinland.
Enjoy.
