Energy is another topic, but Germany is rethinking its plan to shut down the nuclear plants. Remember Shroeder, Germanys ex-prime minister went to work for Gazprom. He was a Russian collaborator in my opinion and did a lot of wrong to Germany.

Sarkozy did the best he could to stop the drive to Tbilisi. No one knew if Russia would halt after Bush told them and Shaaskavilli was screaming we are about to die.

Sarkozy was Rice’s idea. The humanitarian ploy is someone else’s and probably Gates’s idea and one was enough to stop the Russian momentum.
