Answer 1

Georgia lost territory when the Soviet Union broke up, it's now trying to recapture that territory with Western help.

Frankly, this is like America sending marching boot to China the day after they've given give a speech about invading Taiwan.

Answer 2

Apart from condemning Russia and holding UN conferences America isn't really in the position to do much..

Their stretched thin across two fronts, with far too many economical problems to sustain yet another conflict

Sorry Bush! Looks like you'll have to sit this one out

Answer 3

They are probably trying to accomplish not being attacked. Seems like a good enough reason.
