Does it ever end?

"Bullying and intimidation are not acceptable ways to conduct foreign policy in the 21st century" - W.

It wouldn't shock me at all if President Medvedev, after he stopped laughing, just told W. to fuck right off.

Here's one of my biggest fears regarding what this jackass has done to America. Not only have we burned through a good deal of the political good will we'd spent decades building up (not everywhere, but a lot of places) we've also lost what was an extremely tenuous grasp on the moral high ground.

What will our foreign/domestic policy argument be now? "Do as we say, not as we do"? Yeah, that has a great track record. Seriously, great. Yup, great.
