Alright, I will confess I set my alarm clock at 4:58 a.m. to NPR radio. They have those golf announcer type voices that are quiet and not screaming at me to buy a Ford from Fairway Ford's latest Incredible Summer Sale!!!!.
So this morning it went off, and exactly 1 minute into the headline news, the commentator was talking about the "conflict" in Georgia, and how the Russians are being accused by the UN for "Disproportionate Aggression"
Are you kidding me? Regardless who did what, if you call on the military to end/stop/cease/take back/ anything, the plan is to accomplish that goal, by whatever means.

The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving.
Ulysses S. Grant (1822 - 1885)
These are just a few. I'm sure the good 'ol Russians have a few of their own. "Disproportionate Aggression?"
It's combat! The reasoning maybe wrong, the politics maybe wrong, but hello,.. ITS COMBAT!
Why turn the military loose? To hand out flowers and humbly request the ones who started it to go home? Pretty Please?
Here is 35 seconds of what NPR would consider dispropotionate aggession.
