I’m not defending Russia as much as staying objective.
Entering a country covertly is an accepted tactic. Remember our “Hail Mary” route through the desert in Operation Iraqi Freedom? The days of sending a formal declaration with declared invasion routes are long gone.

You can not possibly compare the two as we repeatedly warned Saddam to cooperate with the weapons inspectors or suffer the consequences. Russia plotted this act of treachery and I hardly find your points objective, they are rather along the lines of the lies emanating from Moscow. The following post supports my points as to Russians being no more that common criminals. We did not goad Saddam into attacking us as a pretense to attack nor did we issue American citizenship to Iraqi's in order to “protect” them.
