Editorial
Topic of the Issue
The Caucasus war
Russia
shows who is boss after bombs on Georgia

international law with its attack on Georgia is a display of its newly won strength.

suddenly brought Russia in on the plan, and could bring in the USA too. That worsens
what is an already potentially explosive situation... >>

has been the name of the game. What should the world do about Russia's new-found
bravado?

Tyranny
of the red lines
Equally important, Moscow's tactical victory
in Georgia has left it isolated. The Russian government looked round the world

prudence from a great power and, when these are lacking, tend to conclude that
it is neither truly great nor truly powerful

15 minutes of web fame
The
Mysterious iPhone Girl
Andy Warhol famous
quote that everyone would be famous for at least 15 minutes seems to apply here
- but as a kind of a weird simulacrum of a web fame. What may have happened is
that, as a routine test, the girl and other co-workers were probably checking
