Powerful U.S. Senator calls for arming Ukraine to kill Russian soldiers

Here.

Obama betrayed Poland and the Czech Republic, dissed the Dalai Lama, and looked the other way while Iranian demonstrators were being butchered...

...and all he got was this lousy Nobel Peace Prize.

Obama caves to Russians on missile shield; Moscow sees no concessions in return

Weak.

Truer words have rarely been written

Ralph Peters in the New York Post:

War doesn't change anything! How many times have we heard the claim from self-righteous leftists protected by their betters?

[...]

War doesn't change anything? Wish it were true - but war has been humankind's preferred means of effecting change.

We're all - right and left - getting an in-your-face lesson about how the world really works. Passive resistance only has a chance when your opponent believes in the rule of law and respect for human rights. Gandhi was effective against law-abiding Britain, but he would've frozen to death in the Soviet gulag - if he'd lived long enough to reach the camps.

I'd love it if we lived in a world where war truly didn't work. But war does work. That doesn't mean we shouldn't pursue other means of resolving international crises - but effective idealism has to be grounded in a practical grasp of present reality.

To make the world a better place, we have to begin with a clear-eyed assessment of what kind of place the world is.

That's the main problem liberals have: They view the world as it should be, in a utopia, as opposed to how it really is, in reality.

Pat Buchanan Column

On the conflict between Russia and Georgia.

A worthwhile column on the Russia-Georgia conflict

In the Financial Times.

Yes, it was written by the Russian Foreign Minister, so it's certainly a one-sided account. But there were some valid points made in the article that aren't being mentioned much in the MSM.

UN Sanctions Against Zimbabwe Vetoed By Russia, Red China

More proof that the UN is worthless. And South Africa played an appalling role in this debacle as well.
