At least when dealing with totalitarian regimes. Russia is a totalitarian regime despite having the trappings of being democratic in nature. The French can go in to try and negotiate a cease fire, because EVERYONE in the world knows that the French are nothing more than appeasers. They lack the power to do anything to anyone save cut off their supply of brie or Dom Perignon and with their history of breaking their own word on embargoes (look at how much illegal French trade went into Iraq under the oil for food program.) any threat they might make isn't worth the paper it's written on. Dictators will always meet with the useful idiots who come to them with paper and hats in hand, while they themselves are building up their military forces. This has the potential for devolvement into WWIII and it's not going to be pretty. Had the Clinton Administration not reduced the size of the military by hundreds of thousands soldiers, this would not be happening. Anyone listening to what Obama is saying could be reasonably expected to see the military to be reduced even further. How else can he implement his stated plan of reducing military spending by reducing funding for new equipment development and/or procurement? He claims that he is going to increase the size of the military, but reduce its funding. Someone want to explain the math on that one?

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! OF COURSE HE DID MENTION HIS DEAD TYPICAL WHITE GRANDMOTHER, BUT I HAVE MY DOUBTS SHE WILL DO MUCH GOOD NOW.

McCain's response to foreign relations has traditionally been military. This isn't what is always needed but it seems to be the only card to be played. Maybe if we were buying gas and oil from Georgia, things would be different.

What's going on now is all a bunch of posturing and face saving, in summary bs. There is no way we will ever get into a military confrontation with Russia over Georgia or any former Soviet member.

In the past eight years, Mr. Bus hasn't exactly raised our status in the world, which is why France was able to go in and we were relegated to sitting on the side lines.

He pointed out that the issue is of great concern to the World. Then he said dialogue must be opened between all parties so the issues can be resolved. He further educated us to the realization the both sides, Russia and Georgia, have their particular viewpoints, their own claims and interests. He reminded us that the Russian and Georgians may not always agree perfectly, and this occasion is an example. He was so eloquent on the need to reach understanding and consensus! He was brilliant! This is change, people! Real change, change we can believe in! Obama once again rose to the top with his magnificent statesmanship in response to the Georgian problem!

You simply don't mess around with some of these countries. Wasn't Obamas statement weak. One glaring error is that the U.N. security council is NOT going to make a resolution because Russia is on the council. Further, what good is a resolution anyway? Strong arm diplomacy from the white house is what it will take. Vote McCain.
