Let's just remember who started this: Georgia.
Let's remember that majority of 2000+ "war casualties" are due to Georgians bombing South Ossetian civilians.
I say we send American troops to Georgia and help the Russians punish this Clown of Georgia.

Yes... that's exactly what Pravda says about the whole thing (NBC too).
Scenario: Imagine Russia is the U.S. and Georgia is Mexico ... and the U.S. decided to invade Mexico because "we say" some of their border towns really really want to be part of the U.S.A. ... and that the Mexican military unjustly fired on U.S. forces while occupying Mexican territories... oh, and look over there, while we're at it, let's head toward Mexico's sweet oil pipeline that competes with ours... oops, we destroyed the Mexican military bases and equipment along with vital public infrastructure... and say, look at that nice chunk of waterfront property for ports, I think we'll stay here for a while and protect those Mexicans ... I mean "separatists".
That would be a more accurate description of what is happening in Georgia.
Just curious - since you mention it... what do you feel that were the failures in Iraq and Afghanistan?
