Krauthammer on Georgia

The always interesting Charles Krauthammer, writing for The Washington Post, really nails the Georgia situation. His recommendations for U.S. responses to an intransigent Russia look a lot like those we proposed here on Tuesday, August 12th. Included in his list of possible U.S. actions are barring Russian entry to the World Trade Organization and boycotting the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, just 15 miles up the Black Sea coast from Abkhazia. I would echo his conclusion:
We have cards. We should play them. Much is at stake.
