...years ago, when Israel invaded Lebanon and killed hundreds of innocent civilians, our Administration cheered the onslaught. How can we criticize their aggression and belligerence when the U.S. under Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney acted similarly with respect to Iraq? I do hope Barack Obama and John McCain follow Brzezinski's advice, and I hope NATO and the rest of the international community can persuade Russia to leave Georgian territory or make the political and economic consequences as painful as possible.

But it's fair to question just how successful the ads have been. 2008 was supposed to be the year that climate change finally became a major issue in a Presidential election, yet global warming has been anything but hot on the campaign trail. Both candidates can claim at least a little greenness - though John McCain's environmental record has been tarnished in recent months - but the reality is that candidates aren't talking about climate change because it's not high...
