Georgia in NATO Will be the Best Revenge

Gary Schmitt and Mauro De Lorenzo, AEI | August 13, 2008

For democracy in Georgia to last, Georgians need to feel we have their backs; the West must impose tough economic and diplomatic sanctions on Russia. ++ This conflict demonstrates impotency of the global security order. ++ The West must show Russia it has a greater capacity to sustain a hypothetical new Cold War. ++ It is crucial that the EU breaks the Russian stranglehold on Europe’s energy supplies. ++ The greatest revenge for this invasion would be an independent, prosperous Georgia on a direct path to NATO and EU membership.

I like this comment! What's this?
Dato, I think evonyere can understand your heightened emotions under such extreme circumstances close to home. I'm angry about the whole thing because I've known people from both nations and none of them can be blamed for this absurd and useless conflict. All anyone's accomplishing there now is creating more bad blood among neighbors.
