BRICK, N.J., USA -- In an essay analyzing the Georgia/Russia conflict that appears in the New Yorker Magazine of Aug. 25, David Remnick writes of the neoconservative commentators response to the Russian invasion of Georgia. He says, "Inevitably, a number of neoconservative commentators, along with John McCain, have rushed in to analyze this conflict using familiar analogies: the Nazi threat in the 1930s; the Soviet invasions of Budapest in 1956 and Prague in 1968. But while Putins actions this past week have inspired genuine alarm in Kiev and beyond, such analogies can lead to heedless policy. As the English theologian Bishop Joseph Butler wrote, Everything is what it is, and not another thing.
