McFaul: Stop violence in Georgia rather than assign blame

CDDRL Director and Obama foreign policy advisor Michael McFaul discusses the conflict in Georgia with the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Time magazine, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and National Public Radio. "Would kicking Russia out of the G-8 have stopped this invasion?" McFaul says. "I don't see how those two are related. That is the test of leadership: are you proposing things that can advance American interests?"
