Someone should tell Sen Obama that Russia can veto anything at that UN. Not that we shouldn’t make noise there just for the record, but ostracism in other areas (is there merit to the G-8 ostracism?) would be more effective.

I agree with Hanson, though; we must examine how easily such tiny democracies can be swept under by Russia and how much we can ante up to “guarantee” their existence.

If we can’t do it, if we are unwilling or unable to foot the bill that our words will incur, then we have no business writing those checks.

We want to be the world’s hero, but we are not willing to put ourselves on the line for that.

Hell, no one wants to die for Kandahar, Kabul, Baghdad or Anbar, much less Tblisi.
