Georgia Fiasco

Just imagine if the United States went to war with the Russian Federation over the country of Georgia.

It would be quite ridiculous.

I find it amusing to see the huge amount of political spin by the Bush administration to cast this as a conflict where we are fighting for the rights of the "poor" Georgian people against Russian imperialism.

Did anyone know that Georgian President Saakashvili was elected on a "National Movement" ticket that included a goal of retaking the autonomous provinces (South Ossetia and Abhkazia)?
