to what extent? Please read link provided below. For those of us who remember Bosnia and Kosovo, remember it was Bill Clinton (democrat) who ordered our military "peace-keeping" mission and it was about ethnic cleansing supposedly.

Just want your well-thought, informative, educated responses please.

The US will not intervene militarily. Why do that when it can gleefully keep Georgia supplied with weapons and explosives to continue it's defenses against the Russians. This is how Russia manages to keep Iran supplied and this is how the US kept Afghanistan supplied against Russia during the 80"s !

My opinion? I dont believe the USA should interfere at the moment. If I were the president I'd order a few carrier groups into the region. That might say we're serious. I don't think the soviets want a war. I believe they are trying to see how far they can go till the USA interferes. The sooner we "act" the better.

Plus Georgians LOVE america. Its time we support the people who do.

But that's my two cents.

The US should not intervene at all no matter what happens.  We annoyed Russia by getting close to a country they consider to be in their sphere of influence.  Kind of like how they annoyed us when they trid to put missiles in Cuba.

Saakashvili is looked at favorably in the West because he led the Rose Revolution that got rid of Shevardnadze, who had ruled for years.  But perhap it was a case of, "meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

That blog misses quite a few points. It does not explain quite who the Georgian "government" is or who Saakashvili works for.

It also manages to get the legalities mixed up a bit.

There are over 1,400 civilian dead after the USA supported dictatorship of Saakashvili decided to start shelling the city of Tskhinvali.

They did this at night less than ten hours after a declared cease fire.

If you think it was a Russian invasion just look at what direction the refugees are all running.

If there are any good guys here it is the Russians, but if it was not for the oil pipelines and control of the overland routes into the Middle East (Iran) they would have tried to ignore Georgian internal politics too.

------

When I referred to Sakaashvili as a dictator I considered it well and carefully. He leads a nationalist fascist party.

They have been involved in attempts to force anybody who is not an ethnic Georgian to flee the country.

They have also been involved in terrorist attacks in North Ossetia, Abkhazia and deeper into Russia too.

I think USA' involvment in this is shameful, and should never have happened.

This whole mess is about America's need for oil, and the desire to control every source and shipping route for oil.
