"We Are All Georgians"
McCain, Republican candidate for president | August 14, 2008
Russia claims to protect Ossetians, but its brutal military campaign encompassed the whole of Georgia and therefore a regime change in Georgia seems to be its true aim. ++ In light of these events, Georgia's reasons for seeking NATO membership are apparent. ++ Hopefully, NATO will move ahead with a membership track for both Georgia and Ukraine. ++ The US and its allies must persuade the Russian government to permanently end violence and withdraw its troops. ++ Georgia deserves our solidarity.
