The events of the last week have shown once again the stark contrast between the two Presidential candidates and their respective understandings of geopolitics.
Barack Obama; weak, indecisive, appeasing, dangerously naive.
John McCain; strong in his defense of a small democracy yearning to be free of the brutal domination of their totalitarian neighbor, experienced in the ways of the world, with up close and personal observations of the dangers of Communism.
I can only hope that voters are paying at least some attention to the very different responses that have come from the Obama and the McCain campaigns and will remember in November as they step into the booth to cast their votes for the next Commander-in-chief.

Election ‘08: Russia’s brutal invasion of Georgia caught America off guard. But it did give voters an idea of what to expect from a President McCain or a President Obama, and right now the differences are stark.
John McCain understood just what was happening and called it right on the first shot.
“Russian military forces crossed an internationally recognized border into the sovereign territory of Georgia,” he said as the news broke. “The very existence of independent Georgia — and the survival of democratically elected government — are at stake.”
He was blasted by pundits as being too extreme, but events now show he was right. McCain grasped the regional implications, too.
“Russia has used violence against Georgia to send a signal to any country that chooses to associate with the West and aspire to our shared political and economic values,” he said.
