A clear and in my opinnion accurate interpretation of the Georgia conflict. Hopefully Russia continues to react in an informed and rational manner to Georgian provocations.

Stephen Cohen is right on the dot. There is a strong opposition to the Obama global overtures in the circles of powers to be in the US and elsewhere. The double standard in judging the actions of our "allies" and "enemies" is nothing new. The world has to fight the wickedness inherent in the American system if it wants to achieve a modicum of peace in the world.

i think that steven cohen is saying that biden is NOT just a man who cant control his mouth, even though i believe that to be true. i think he is saying that "It is not correct,...Vice President Biden ..., is simply a man who has trouble controlling his mouth. He represents a very powerful point of view in Washington, everything that he said and did regarding Russia." .
