Answer 1

Why should we go to war with Russia? Russia did the right thing. Here is a short explanation what happened in Georgia.

1) In attempt to re-take an autonomous region of South Ossetia - Georgia ATTACKS South Ossetia first killing Russian peacekeepers that were in the region, then starts to bomb Tskhinvali. Keep in mind - that is done at night. Georgian troops level the city almost to the ground, kill about 1600 civilians, and drive the rest out of town.

2) Russia steps in a day later to prevent the further genocide of Ossetians.

3) Georgian president screams bloody murder and tells everybody how Russia just invaded his country for no good reason.

4) Russia defeats Georgia, destroys their weapons and heads home.

thats about it...
