Russia has largely won the gas wars before most Europeans even noticed they were being fought. So far this year the Kremlin has stitched up the Caspian (by striking a pipeline deal with Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan). It has nobbled Austria, Belgium and Hungary (to add to its powerful position in Germany, France and Italy). By schmoozing other producers it has begun to form a gas cartel. For a start: Is Russia a fit member of the G8? Clearly not. Russia was admitted to the then-G7 to bolster Boris Yeltsin's attempt to make Russia democratic, free and friendly.

With the war in Afghanistan back in the news, it bears restating that our government is lying about this "mission." The big whopper is that we are fighting for democratic and humanitarian ideals on behalf of the Afghan people. We, the public, may take comfort in this delusion, but the truth on the ground is that we are battling one side in a civil war in which both sides behave the same.
