Apologies for my incompetence with the Bath Chronicle link - I can’t find it at all now but this would easily do instead!

On weightier matters this is a gentle and thoughtful riposte to the McCain hard line on Russia (chuck them out of the G8) which (perhaps even more so than Iraq) may come to be one of the major features of the foreign policy debate in the general election. The Senator's big foreign affairs speech was covered mainly for its efforts to separate the candidate from the Bush White House but the Russia stuff alarms some Europeans terribly. More importantly it might just be unrealistic in a world where Russian help - on Iran etc - is needed.
