Damned Russians...

I, like many others, have had my head in the sand about the Russians. I hope that this invasion of Georgia serves as a warning shot to all of the former Soviet republics. I also hope that Georgia can survive in it's present state.

It is indeed too bad that the U.S. military is so strapped that they can do little more than deliver relief supplies. I certainly hope Russia can be persuaded to pull back out of Georgia's borders. Yes, I realize there are disputed territories, but at very least the Russians should be completely out of the undisputed part of Georgia. Then we should assist them in rebuilding.

Ultimately, this great and friendly nation of Georgia should be part of Nato.
