You really have a hard on for Putin, cbelt.
I am just wondering what did Putin have to do with our Iraqi fiasco?
Just to put it perspective, compare your strawman to Bush/Obama's Iraqi salt mines, here are some numbers....

Documented civilian deaths from violence
122,524 – 136,179
Total violent deaths including combatants
188,000

To date the death toll in Crimea since Russian forces have occupied the peninsula is five.
Maybe they'll double it, you will be fully justified to to call for carpet bombing.....
