I meet your straight with my flush

Obama's choice of Joe Biden is a blatant attempt to level the playing field on foreign policy, particularly since Joe Biden seems to be as equally enthusiastic about Georgia's "territorial integrity" as John Mccain. As much as the United States and other NATO member-states wish to uphold the ideal of territorial integrity, we seem to have contradicted ourselves by supporting Kosovo, a region with another oppressed minority-ethnic group. Russia is guilty of these same contradictions, by siding with Serbia in that matter and by ruthlessly crushing the Chechen rebellion. So why respond the same way our competitors respond? Georgia's territory should only reach as far as those who live there wish to remain a part of it.
