Letters to the Editor The Boston Herald Tuesday, August 19, 2008 http://www.bostonherald.com/news/opinion/letters/view/2008_08_19_American_hypocrisy/ American hypocrisy Given that we violated Serbia’s territorial integrity in mercilesslybombing the Serbs and stealing Kosovo from them to make an Islamic haven inEurope, why should the Russians do any differently in Georgia with the“might makes right” precedent (“Russia: Forget Georgian territorialintegrity,” Aug. 14)? As we trained and equipped Georgian forces, we’reprovoking the Russians. I would be much more careful if I were Condoleezza Rice. Russia still has enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world and we’re bogged down with our own violations of territorial integrity in Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Instead of treating Russia as an enemy, we shouldadmit our errors in setting these precedents and allow Russia to join NATO.
