Richard, I think that, contra general opinion, the Cold War never truly ended. It merely lapsed into remission for a while. Now it is cancerous again, thanks to our former friends in the KGB who now run Russia. Right now Russia might still be signaling, hoping that they can get something more from Georgia, probably dealing with proposed and actual pipelines. If, however, they do intend to carry through, I am not sure that we should sit this one out. Right now we have to really think about the cost/benefit analysis of pretty much every possible iteration of this scenario. I wish that I was confident that much of this was already done. I do not envy President Bush right now.
