Why It Matters : In Georgia, Cheney Has Some Explaining to Do: "The last time Dick Cheney visited the former Soviet Union in May 2006, he spoke as the victor of the cold war–and extended an invitation to Russia to become a partner of the West, on the West’s terms. In Vilnius, Lithuania, he told an audience of the leaders of nine former Soviet republics or Warsaw Pact satellites that Russia was not 'fated to be an enemy' and that it 'can be a strategic partner and a trusted friend.' But he urged that Russia follow the course embraced by its former subjects in the Soviet bloc. 'Russia has a choice to make,' he said.
In the aftermath of Georgia, it looks like Moscow has made its choice. But it was hardly the one Cheney proposed–rather than partnership, Russia has chosen head-on confrontation to reassert its authority over its former empire..."
Ok. Deadeye Darth Vader Cheney is a key part of the worst regime in U.S. and may be the AntiChrist, but I don't see how he is responsible for bad decisions made by the Russian regime. (Well, other than endlessly demonstrating that America is managed by incompetent idiots.)
