MIKHAIL GORBACHEV, former President of the Soviet Union, writes a good piece in the NYT Op-Eds today. I tend to agree with him that the Georgians started this mess with the understanding that the USA would back them up.
Russia is still a world power whether we want to beleive that or not. They can play the energy card and hold a good portion of the world hostage. Energy is a weapon just like guns and tanks. We need to remember that in our foreign policy. In fact, we should just stay out of this conflict like we have failed to do in so many others over the last 100 years.
