Taliban attack on NATO forces in three years

While the notion that the Georgia crisis takes us back to the end of the Cold BOOTSBUY and the “return

of history” has become a cliche among most of the commentariat (while some neo-cons predictably

compare it to the Sudetenland, Munich and 1938), both columns see the present moment as signaling much

deeper historical and even epochal challenges to UGG Sheepskin Cuff Boot and western hegemony in what

is now, ever more clearly, a multipolar world that rejects Pax Americana. And, if UGG Sheepskin Cuff

Boot leaders, actual and imminent, continue to insist on a hard line toBOOTSBUYd Russia, that rejection

will very likely extend to Europe, as well. Indeed, western (or “old”) Europe, in particular, has

some major strategic decisions of its own to make, having seen where its habitual deference to

Washington has gotten it.

The big news yesterday was the death of 10 French soldiers in Afghanistan. They called it the worst

Taliban attack on NATO forces in three years.

But hold the presses…
