[aaus-list] Ukraine stuck in the middle again?

[Adrian J. Ivakhiv]

Misha Glenny's analysis of the Georgian debacle may be of interest to  
this list:

A quote:

"In the next three months, the issues of Ukraine and Iran will loom  
large in global politics and they may well have a decisive impact on  
the outcome of the US election. Who set the trap in Georgia? Vladimir  
Putin and his thuggish pals from the FSB, or Dick Cheney and his  
equally unflappable neocon friends?"

I also recommend Don Rayfield's article (and a few of the other found  
at www.opendemocracy.net ):
