How would Obama handle Russia?
Could it be that he would privately talk to them instead of spewing war monger hate speech through the media?

Could it be he would promote talks and the use of the UN instead of attempts at forcing them into an agreement?

Would the last thing he would think about during a time of instability is pushing the installation of a missle base in Poland just to provoke Russia?

Just a few things to think about. This whole thing sure smacks of pre-Iraq only this time it's against a country who can fight back. Bush cannot leave office soon enough and it's time congress acts before he puts us into a hole we won't be able to climb out of.

1. Settling things peacefully
Works for me. Sword rattling, as Bush and McCain are doing, does nothing to help out the problem. Bush is behind this, of that I am sure. It may have only been a false promise to back Georgia, but to think that he did not know what was going to happen when we have people training the Georgian army in Georgia, is something I find very hard to believe.

2. A 'peaceful' settlement isn't really an option here, considering the participants, but Obama..
would not have been tossing gasoline on the fire!
