Georgia president signs cease-fire with Russia - Yahoo! News

Georgia president signs cease-fire with Russia - Yahoo! News: "TBILISI, Georgia - A reluctant Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili said Friday he signed a cease-fire agreement with Russia and declared in the presence of the chief U.S. diplomat that the West behaved in ways that invited the invasion." This is a really big deal. The Russian attempt to annihilate Georgia will affect relations with them for years to come. Although we can't respond militarily to Russia (who I believe Putin wants to revive as the New Soviet Union), we can respond economically, and we will. Well, at least until we get a wishy washy leftist as president.
