russia takes crimea, us took iraq.

putin says, why is the us different?

it's an awkward question.

is the answer "exceptionalism"?

i think that's what putin thinks it is.

but it is hard to argue exceptionalism if you have lost your moral authority.

maybe out of the events in crimea comes a process which defines how and when intervention in a country's internal affairs is allowable.

different rules for different countries is not a good model.

iraq still echoes.
