Politics is full of hypocracy..

I think sending Chaney was a mistake. He is too aggressive and well known for his neocon views.

I am worried that Ukraine, like Georgia may take steps which might cause more problems in the region.

IMHO, Ukraine should try and steer a middle road for now and not show "allegiance" to either side..

What is intersting is that Nicaragua has recognized South Ossetia and Abkhazia. This may lead to others like Cuba, venezuela following suit..
