People are already saying how much the war in Georgia is helping John McCain. It seems to me the exact opposite ought to be true: McCain has thrown together his own foreign policy, and has engaged in political posturing over this issue. I also don’t understand how hawks can keep making the claim “nations don’t invade other nations” (Bush, Rice and McCain have all made variations on this claim. These people have a lot of chuztpah.)

I deal with the geopolitical issues raised by this invasion on my blog here, here and here.
