Was there a case for intervening?
I think you need to read up a bit more on the facts. The region gets nothing in support from Georgia: no garbage pick up, no schools, nothing. Further, they don't consider themselves Georgian, don't want to be Georgian, and many hold Russian passports. Russia can legitimately claim that it was acting to protect its citizens from Georgian agression. Of course there are more complicated items here, but it's far from clear that Georgia is innocent. Further let's keep in mind that McCain was and is pushing for Georgia to be part of NATO; and if we were, we very well might be at war with Russia. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:265988 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
