A True Conservative Writes

Simon Jenkins, scourge of the Thatcher Myth, takes on the Saakashvili Myth (among other things), and rightly concludes:

"The west has done everything to isolate Putin, as he rides the tiger of Russian emergence from everlasting dictatorship. This has encouraged him to care not a fig for world opinion. Equally the west has encouraged Saakashvili to taunt Putin beyond endurance. The policy has led to war. If ever there were a place just to leave alone, it is surely the Caucasus."
