The Ukraine?
Okay, so Bush back's Ukraine's membership in NATO.
Huh? Is it just me or does this seem nuts? The Ukraine was at the heart of the Soviet Union and it's loss was particularly painful. Does this move not seem like a provocation to Russia and an escalation of the business of defensive missiles against Iran. Oh, and by the way, Ukraine has nuclear weapons, does it not?
Where is the media, the experts, and commentators, the bloggers? Where's Joe Biden, for heaven's sake. The president is making what could be momentous foreign policy in an off-handed fashion and without examination by, well, anybody.
Or is it just me?

Not to pat myself on the back or anything, but isn't the move into Georgia an answer to our provocative support for Ukraine and Georgian NATO membership and the missile defense in Europe? The press etc should have jumped on this when it was first proposed. So should the Democrats.
We cannot afford this kind of passivity on the current administration's international moves, especially as their time runs out.
