While the US and western media continue to blame the war between Georgia and Russia on tbe Russians, Conn Hallinan writes about the blunders the US is making in the Caucusus. In his article, Dispatches From The Edge: Playing Chess in the Caucasus he discusses why the US is trying to push NATO as close to Russia's borders as possible as well as the the opposition they are facing in attempting to do so.
He ties the failures of American policy in this region with the failures of US policy in Iraq and Afghanistan and the current economic collapse and comes to a predictable conclusion: "This is how empires end."
