they are fighting with the country georgia

Answer 3

  Georgia, a break away province the old soviet union, decided to start with military action against a small area of Ossettia, that wanted to seperate themselves from Georgia, and Russia stepped in to stop the Georgian government from taking over the area.

  Now our leaders, Bush & company, are condemning the actionb claiming the Russians are starting a war with a sovereign nation without justification,and charging them with "overreacting".

  Great, where were our leaders and why not the same cry when Israel bombed Beruit and killed 1200 innocent Lebonese civilians when Hezbola captured two Jew soldiers, talk about overreacting, yet no condemnation there.

  And talk about hypocricy, how about our invasion of Iraq, for no valid reason, except Bush's lies and the wishes of the Israeli government.

  And Bush is "demanding" a cease fire and return to conditions that existed last week, like who the h**l is Bush to demand anything from anyone,  Has he ignored the fact the Russians can actually kick some A@@, but good?
