"The fuss" is about your tendency to provide links to anything which seems to support your point of view without checking the accuracy of what's linked. Your use of Gowan's appallingly unfair attack on Zunes is a particularly bad example, as I took some trouble to demonstrate. You might have checked to see if Zunes had replied to Gowan's blatent distortions - simple enough, Zunes' response was there in the comments on the article.

In order to try to partially justify yourself you now distort Zunes' view:

The author isn't clear in taking any position, however he first quotes Sarah Palin on Russia's bloody invasion of Georgia and repeats: "the Russians attacked Georgia in 2008." This was neocon propaganda during the Bush administration.

The point is that he's not discussing the validity of her view about Russia and Georgia; he's making the simple point against her that her attempt to use this conflict as an example of Obama supposedly failing to stand up to the Russians is absurd because "Obama wasn't even president then and therefore couldn't have done much."

If you want to know what Zunes' own view about Georgia and Russia is it takes a minute to find out:

It has been nearly impossible to even broach this subject of the U.S. role. Much of the mainstream media coverage and statements by American political leaders of both major parties has in many respects resembled the anti-Russian hysterics of the Cold War.

NB

It is striking how quickly forgotten is the fact that the U.S.-backed Georgian military started the war when it brutally assaulted the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali in an attempt to regain direct control of the autonomous region. This attack prompted the disproportionate and illegitimate Russian military response, which soon went beyond simply ousting invading Georgian forces from South Ossetia to invading and occupying large segments of Georgia itself.

This is very far from a "Neo-con view", but again not a simplistic one.

I suggest you take more care in your criticism and in your choice of links, these examples undermine the credibility of your posts in general.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
