We have yet another example of the differences each candidate will bring to the Diplomatic field. Russia's aggression is being viewed two different ways.
Teem Obama seems to want the kindergarten approach, as usual, Bill Richardson is calling for "a strong resolution getting the Russians to show some restraint".
As George Will notes...
Apparently Richardson was ambassador to the U.N. for 19 months without noticing that Russia has a Security Council veto.
McCain seems to be calling for an adult solution saying "to immediately and unconditionally ... withdraw all forces from sovereign Georgian territory".
What's so hard about talking like an adult? Many people believe that to be on the left means never having to grow up. Obama and Richardson sure sound like they're still in Elementary School, telling the bullies to that they strongly urge them to change their behavior. Then the bully puts them in the trash can and laughs all the way to his next victim.
