Here comes World War III

Georgia Was Tricked But By Russia Or Us (from Sunday Herald):

"Imagine the French have just shelled the Channel Islands. What's our next move?

A daft analogy? Not as daft, I suspect, as the claim that the US, with military advisers on site in Georgia busily equipping and training its army, tried and failed to dissuade Saakashvili from launching a war. Does America have so little influence over a tiny client state that depends entirely on American goodwill? Or did Saakashvili somehow get the wrong idea from someone somewhere about the nature and scale of likely US support and US responses? Nothing else makes any sense."

Ian Bell with another spot on piece.

Apart from the sheer terror of the thought of the Rocket Man provoking WWIII, and the rest of the horrors unveiled by this analysis, one thing that disturbs me is the idea that Miliband is waving him on.
