In Newsweek, John Barry makes the argument for the truly insane approach to the Georgian crisis — first, the simpleton’s historical analogies, then the totally loopy prescription — issue a guarantee of Georgia’s independence and sovereignty and back it up by sending the 82nd Airborne (after all they’re done in Iraq, so they’re available) into the country as a tripwire.

Brilliant.

(Do whatever you can to make sure John McCain is not elected president. Too many opportunities for crazy mischief to let him get his hands on the military and the bomb.)
