In order to take Georgia's side, one has to deny South Ossetia its right to self-determination.

You just complete GUTTED your 'lets not call Putin Hitler' argument.

The inhabitants of the Sudetenland, Hitler said, were predominantly German, and these three million Sudeten Germans deserved-what else?-the right of self-determination and a destiny separate from the other seven million inhabitants of Czechoslovakia; this despite the fact that the country was a democracy and that the Sudeten Germans enjoyed economic prosperity and full civil rights.

Self-determination - that was EXACTLY the argument Hitler used for the Sudetenland. BWAHAHAHAHA!

Um, it’s you that doesn’t seem to get it. When the U.S. bombed Kosovo, what was their goal? To allow the Kosovars the right to govern their own territory. Lots of lies were told about mass graves etc. Do we want to be manipulated into that sort of situation again?

I’m all for letting the Europeans have a whack at this before we start flexing all over the place.
