Georgia & Russian Conflict

George Bush and many American politicians who did vote for authorizing invasion of Iraq, as well as stayed silent during Israeli bombardment of Lebanon are now calling Russia’s reaction to Georgian’s incursion in South Ossetia as “unacceptable in the 21st century”, or “disproportionate use of force”.

If it wasn’t that innocent civilians are dying the irony/hypocrisy of these remarks would be laughable.

This is what happens when you go around invading a country that is not a real threat, while also staying silent when an ally country bombards innocent civilians. When you do your criticisms of actions of others will go on deaf ears even though what is being said may make 'some' sense.

I said some sense because clearly Russia’s response is over the top (Russian's version of Shock & Awe) but at the same time Georgian’s had no business trying to invade South Ossetia. I understand that the region was once part of Georgia but so was once California or Texas part of Mexico.

Unfortunately America under the leadership of this president has lost its moral legitimacy to lead the world on these issues.
