Exactly what lesson has Mr. Putin taught us Ake?

Fact Russia has invaded Georgia.

Fact Russia has annexed South Ossetia and Abkhazia, it certainly has not "liberated" them.

Land grab pure and simple, nothing else.

Mind you if their (Russia's) actions stand as precedent, my my, the Israelis have got loads of scope to finally resolve disputs relating to the West Bank, all they would seem to have to do apparently is print up a whole rake of Passports.
