Joe Klein is pushing for diplomacy against Russia (LINK). I’m not ready to go to war over Georgia yet, but diplomacy will accomplish absolutely nothing.

At the end of the article, Klein fits in as much stupidity as possible in one statement

And it (Iraq Invasion) has severely damaged our moral authority in the world…I mean, after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, after Abu Ghraib, after our blithe rubbishing of the Geneva Accords, why should anyone listen to us when we criticize the Russians for their aggression in the Caucasus?

My retort:

1. We are the only country that will stand alone protecting people from brutal dictators. We are the only county with any level of moral authority. The rest of the world has NONE.
2. The U.S. invaded Iraq after years of them not living up to a cease fire agreement and U.N. approval of consequences if they did not comply to U.N. mandates.
3. We punished the soldiers involved in Abu Ghraib.
4. I don’t remember the terrorist signing the Geneva Accords. If we sign a free treaty with Canada, does that mean the rest of the world can export to the U.S. duty free? If Canada starts charging us an import tax, does that mean we still have to live up to the treaty. The terrorist are not signatories to the Geneva Convention.
5. He claims we should use diplomacy and then says why would anyone listen to us. In other words, we should talk while no one is listening. Did he go to some special school to learn that kind of idiotic logic?

Joe Klein is a flaming liberal just like 90% of the press in this country. Every once in a while, I tune into what they have to say just to gauge where liberals stand. They never seem to disappoint.
