“Georgia did not attack Russia, Russia is attacking Georgia. They say they were protecting their citizens but we heard the same argument from Nazi Germany in taking the Sudetenland in 1938. Formally, Russia says it is protecting its citizens but in reality it is beginning a war.”
The United States and Europe ignored this brewing crisis for too long. Bush wanted to play all sides - flattering Georgia's president, Mikheil Saakashvili, as Saakashvili baited Moscow and looking the other way as Putin bullied his neighbors. (U.S. officials insist that they warned the Georgian leader not to fall into Moscow's trap by sending troops into South Ossetia - but they weren't persuasive enough.)
Even after Russian bombers began pounding Georgia last week, Bush seemed to hope that his old pal Putin was just blowing off steam. The Europeans, who are far too reliant on Russian energy supplies, were even more in denial. On Wednesday, some European leaders, including Germany's foreign minister, were still reluctant to blame Russia.
