Georgia: U.S. Moral Bankruptcy

Thoughts On The Road has Georgia on its mind and says that the conflict with Russia is a direct result of the moral bankruptcy and incompetence of the U.S. Government.

As an American, my primary regret is for the role of my government. The U.S. government has been saddled for the last seven years with an immoral and incompetent administration that has squandered its material and immaterial resources. Because my country has been consumed by fighting a war that the Bush administration chose to start, it is in no position to offer real support to the Georgians. Its energy policy is bankrupt. The country’s economy is foundering. The US military is overextended. And the United States policy has been so blatantly hypocritical about defending “democracy” that even the most optimistic of its friends see its claims as hollow. So, the Georgians are yet another group to suffer from the unintended consequences of George W. Bush’s adventurism.
