Disarm: The Lesson of the Georgia Fiasco

George Bush, with the clock ticking down the last months of his presidency, nearly started yet another war that might have escalated in the manner of World War I: a diplomatic failure backed by arms that resulted in a superpower clash.

It is a wonder that the world has survived his "war on terror," which turned out to be a war on American liberty and anyone in the world who got on his nerves. His confrontation with Russia in defense of a belligerent little client state of the United States could have sealed his fate and ours too.

We need to examine Bush's actions and see how the United States nearly stumbled into a calamity...

More criticism of GWB and his interventionist policies. The good news is we'll soon have another President who will assuredly make similar blunders - or is that the bad news?
