MCCAIN CALLS FOR ACTION AGAINST RUSSIA

In response to Russia's invasion of the sovereign nation of Georgia, Republican Presidential candidate John McCain stated Monday that the nations of the G-7 should call an emergency meeting to discuss a concerted response.

According to CNS News Service, McCain believes the actions of the Russians to be a serious violation of international law. He also stated it was obvious that the Russians have every intention of taking over the country.

In addition to the emergency meeting of the G-7, McCain also called for a special meeting of the North Atlantic Council of NATO in order to demand a cease-fire.

NATO, said McCain, should begin discussing the possibility of sending an international peacekeeping force into Georgia and begin deliberations about future relations with Russia, the implication being that unless Russia stands down there will be serious repercussions concerning its relationship with NATO.

Many international political observers believe that the Russian invasion of Georgia is a signal that we may be entering into a new ominous era reminiscent of the Cold War.

One thing is clear, however. The Russians under Vladimir Putin still believe in the old Soviet Communist ideal of total domination.
