Read this piece on the situation in Georgia.

"What horrifies is me is not just the violence, as if it isn’t bad enough, but the fact that being ethnically half-Russian and half-Ukrainian, I grew knowing that the Georgians are our friends. I grew up in a household in love with Georgian culture. To my Russian mother, Georgia was “the most beautiful place in the world,” and she wasn’t alone in this by far."

Much sadness. *sniff* Also, I had to wonder whether Dubya, upon hearing that Russia invaded Georgia, decided to withdraw the troops from Iraq, redemploy them in Florida, and order them to march north. ;-)
