"And here, Moscow lacks the advantage that the United States holds in the war: It cannot force the battle abroad. The Russians are being forced to fight on their own territory, which entails extra security burdens and takes a heavier toll on the populace. Also, it is exceedingly difficult to give the command to use missiles, bombs and other heavy weapons against one's own country than when fighting in foreign lands -- which is why no heavy power was used in Nalchik on Thursday."

Mmm... maybe going into Iraq wasn't such a bad idea after all.
