Way too much is being made of what are run-of-the-mill disputes in the world.

Israel v. Hamas -- what else is new? I've seen this movie before. It ends with lots of rubble.

A political dispute between Moscow and Kiev? Who'd of thunk it?

Seriously, calm the fuck down. I was listening to a news "roundtable" today where they were discussing all of these conflcits and the starting premise for everything was that the United States HAD TO DO SOMETHING about each and every situation. Bullshit.

Steady as she goes, Mr. Obama.
