It’s not clear what the United States can or should do about the Russian attack on Georgia.

What is clear – in fact crystal clear – is that the ability of the President of the United States to act is hampered by seven years of vicious partisan attacks upon him (and his office) by people who enjoy all of the benefits of being an American citizen but have no inkling of the responsibilities that must be beared if those benefits are to continue.

bob at 11:29 am is a perfect example of the ridiculous partisanship which has crippled the United States. Pretending that a nation that has given blood and treasure to liberate 58 million people does not have moral authority -or that Russian is deterred by moral authority- is insane.
