Putin, Georgia, Russia and McCain.

I just read Garry Kasparov's excellent piece in the Wall Street Journal about Russia's brutal invasion of Georgia. John McCain
has been one of the few to understand what's really going on in Putin's belligerent Russia.

Garry Kasparov:

The conflict also threatens to poison Russia's relationship with Europe and America for years to come. Can such a belligerent state be trusted as the guarantor of Europe's energy supply? Republican presidential candidate John McCain has been derided for his strong stance against Mr. Putin, including a proposal to kick Russia out of the G-8. Will his critics now admit that the man they called an antiquated cold warrior was right all along?
