Why is it when the US invaded Iraq we were warmongering warcrinmals but Russia invades Georgia and their heros

Question

I mean look at the US and our allies invaded Iraq to liberate them and now everyone calls us warmongering warcrinmals but Russia invades GHeorgia and thier hero....

I mean espacly since Russias motoves their only doing it to annex the S.O. region or possible all of Georgia....We the Us and our allies invaded Iraq to librate the peiople and give them freedom look at the facts so now I ask you this who are the true warmongars and warcrinmals?

Answer 1

At least Russia had a reason to invade.  They were attacked first.  The Bush Administration on the other hand played the part of the murderous bully and occuppier.

Answer 2

Iraq was no lost American province, but an independent nation.  Russia didn't have to send its military half way around the globe.  Georgia was once legally part of Russia.  Look at the facts.

Answer 3

There is a double standard in everything political.

Also if we invaded IRAQ for oil - where is it? I've been there - we liberated them from a dictator who used nerve gas on his own people. Do you think if he had a way to deliver his nerve gas to the USA that he would hesitate?  I doubt it since he did it to his own people and ignored all the UN Security Council resolutions.

Answer 4

Double standards.

Answer 5

georgia wants georgia for the georgians know 1 else. they killed people, russia has gone to stop it, a lot of russians live there & were being killed, just because  its not america & uk going in  to save them its wrong?

Answer 6

i lived in Georgia and they are wonderful people while nobody likes Russians!!!!!!

Answer 7

It is easy:

People of Iraq not wanted to be occupied by US.

Several days ago georgian forces destroyed whole city, killed more that 2000 civilians. - That is why:

People of S Ossetia want to be liberated of Georgia.

And Russia will help them to survive, because it is genocide of ossetins.

Answer 8

I completely agree, it is ridiculous.  Well, I see our troops as heroes.  :)

Answer 9

..."look at the US and our allies invaded Iraq to liberate them"

Liberate them?? Liberate their oil, you wanna said? US brought to Iraq only destruction and many deaths! Russians are not angels, but compare with USA we really are!! Look upon what you have done. Iraq still washes its own blood. And all because of oil!

Remember, life of a human is more valuable that any money!    

Answer 10

At night on August, 7th Georgia has destroyed the rockets weapon Chenvali city. 1600 peace inhabitants were lost. Russia has interfered to protect. It is bad? The following attack will be direct to Russia. I from Russia also apologize for bad English. The USA it is not necessary to participate in this conflict and to specify to us, what to do.

Answer 11

Because south ossieta was strongly Pro-Russian. Most South Ossetians wanted to either be Independent from Georgia, or become a part of Russia. Most of them were Russian citizens anyway. Russia was just protecting its people

Answer 12

The SO region has been free from Georgia and protected by Russia for 16 years. This is a Georgian effort at expansion, not a Russian one.

Правда нет всегда чего мы желаем услышать.

Answer 13

I don't think there's a hero in this conflict.  

Answer 14

I will state this like it is:

The United States has freedom of speech, Russia, well not so much.

Freedom of speech->Hippies come out of hiding

No freedom of speech->There are no hippies to begin with.
