World affairs have been a constant presence in Mika Brzezinski's life since she was a young girl. Her father, Zbigniew Brzezinski, was the powerful National Security Adviser to President Jimmy Carter. She spent her young adulthood behind or in front of TV cameras, working her way up as a broadcaster on ABC, Fox and CBS, where she worked as an anchor and 60 Minutes correspondent. In 2006, however, she was unceremoniously (and very publicly) let go for reasons she says she still doesn't understand. Brzezinski is currently the co-host of the MSNBC show Morning Joe, with...

He fails to mention that it was the Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili who ignited the war by attacking South Ossetia in the first place. Saakashvili miscalculated that the U.S. and the rest of Europe would support his action and come to his defense. His subsequent rhetoric was aggravating, which provoked the Russians and produced natural consequences. German Chancellor Angela Merkel played second fiddle to him. Her popularity is at a very low ebb in Germany. Saakashvili should follow President Musharraf and tender his resignation before things...
