George Bush wants NATO to take in Georgia and Ukraine as members. This should not be allowed. Good relations between Russia and the rest of the Western world are the reason NATO members should not follow Bush's arguments. Both Georgia and Ukraine are Slavic nations like Russia, united by a common language base as well as by their religious Orthodoxy.
Bush's attempt to enroll them in NATO is merely a political move by Bush to embarrass Russia and Vladimir Putin. Bush has this compulsion to show how much he is in charge of the world order and how more powerful he is than Putin. By taking Georgia and Ukraine away from Russia's influence and by enrolling them in NATO which was designed to militarily oppose the Soviet Union - this would be part of George Bush's legacy about which Americans would never hear the end of from Bush supporters.
