A Warsaw Pact for America
By Robert Tracinski & Jack WakelandIn the past few days, the United States has finally entered the conflict in Georgia in a clumsy and cautious way--but America has entered the conflict, and America is instantly a central part of everything that is going on. The interesting thing about the way that the US is stumbling into the conflict zone is that we're not being led by George Bush, the State Department, or the command structure at the Pentagon as much as we're being led by the articulate and passionate statements about liberty--a battle cry--by Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili. He is someone we cannot say "no" to without saying "no" to our own identity. Ultimately President Bush, architect of the Forward Strategy of Freedom, cannot say "no" to him either.
