John McCain is accusing the Russian government of interfering with Georgian affairs, and he’s right, but I wonder what sort of relationship we will have with that nation if McCain becomes President. He is known for his fiery temper and it is not too difficult to imagine him as a reactionary in foreign policy. Might he re-ignite the Cold War, if elected President? No one is more opposed to Russian imperialism and tyranny than I, as I wish those people could live in a peaceful democracy and its neighbors wouldn’t have to worry about its aims (not to mention American concerns in the security council and otherwise), but I am certainly not in favor of returning to the 1970s because Brezhnev has been elected to lead America.
