Why should Bush be upset with Russia invading Georgia? Didn't he do the same thing when he invaded Iraq?

Question

and deposed Saddam Hussein?

So what exactly is the problem here?

Answer 1

No, it's not the same. The people of Georgia actually like their president and he was elected through real elections. Saddam was an evil dictator who tortured and massacred the people of Iraq. He built countless palaces for himself, while the people lived in poverty and misery.

Answer 2

Liberty means only Uncle Sam has the right to invade other nations.

Justice means whatever Uncle Sam says, does, ... is always right.

Peace, fairness  does not exist in Uncle Sam's dictionary.

Answer 3

well georgia shelled south ossetia and killed thousands of civilians and a couple of russian peacekeepers. some even at point blank.

it clearly looks like genocide to me

what should russia do? do nothing?

do nothing to the atrocities being commited to their comrades?

oh....but russia overdid their counteroffensive though...

Answer 4

atleast you have the smarts to see that it is pretty much the same dam thing. Even if Russia was invading only to force the Georgians to adhere to a different form of government (which is  no where close to being the case) , that is exactly what the US did when they invaded iraq and they are still trying to force them to adopt a democracy after they clearly expressed not wanting them to be there. the civialians even tried to drive us out. they know that the US is just escalating the situation. just because the US is democracy based (not even a true democracy, only a representative democracy which is basically many dictators instead of just one) does not give them the right to try to force there oppinions and ideas on every other nation by preaching that they are the bad guys untill they get the support to try wipe them all out, or adhere to they're ideas.......... Does this sound familiar in previous history ? The last time another nation tried this, the rest of the world pretty much realized what was happening and demolished that nation....... only one question...... How long untill WW3 ???

Answer 5

I don't care about Bush anymore.   Hopefully I can forget him in 6 months.

More importantly, I was against the Iraq war and I am against the Soviet occupation of Georgia.    Georgia was also wrong for their preemptive attacks on Ossetia against the ethnic Russians.    

Answer 6

you bet ye.

Answer 7

Bush is ignorant.

Answer 8

it really does not matter,  the USA has their opinion, and Russia has their opinion, and they will end up settling it on the battle field,  

Answer 9

Actually, the Russians had more cause to invade. They were trying to protect their peace keepers AND the Ossetians from being slaughtered by the Georgian military, which is trained and funded by the US. The problem is, the US likes to think it can control land that is thousands of miles away from home. They can't. Russia just proved that they cant, and there's not a d**n thing Bush or anyone else can do about it. I say "bravo Russia" for stopping a genocide in progress and for telling Bush where he can shove his baseless threats..

Answer 10

don't forget Yugoslavia. they invaded sovereign country and as a result its integrity suffered.

Saddam destroyed few Shiite villages and was executed for that.

Bill Clinton destroyed few Yugoslavian cities and he's still free

Saakashvili destroyed S.Ossetian villages and even gets support.

is there any sense? i really dont know how to answer your question
