Zak - You are spot on with regard to Georgia and also plan B. I am happy to talk to anyone who tries to offer friendship. However, we need be realistic. Nato does need reform. Maybe that reform is disolussion or maybe it is old europe taking control and stabilising it. I think France rejoining Nato was more to do this, than anything else. Otherwise it may be better to start talking direct to Germany, France Italy and Spain about building european defence, both in terms of missiles and an overall architecture.

In the current framework, NATO is not in a position to be a partner. These may be good intentions, and may be what European populace would like to hear. This is about coming out with positives, what could otherwise be seen as a negative. Or, this can be a way of paving a road for the long-term restructuring of European, and global security. Because, we the public, will never know what is usually being kept rather far from public view, we can only guess. But, since public opinion has a great deal of influence on how much latitude politicians have, it is important that the citizens sort this out, and have a view as well. Since all the history proves that West has often viewed Russia as a space to be taken, and Russians and Slavs as a lesser race, a good deal of good judgement is required. Positive outlook, and positive attitude about the event, is the call of the day. After all, US made that decision, not NATO. And as most of the Eurpean population wants to see the change, Russian people want it too. As the time goes on, confidence measures will have to be put in place, step by step, to insure that the security is indivisible, and that old, agressive Europe, looking for its lebensraum at the expense of the lesser races, is definitely a thing of the past. For that, time, and a great deal of mutually beneficial ties will insure that each step is carefully felt, before another is taken.
