"The USSR set the boundaries of both Georgia and Ukraine." ~ Teribus

Well, I wasn't sure until I read that post, but now I would say that Russia should go home and let Georgia make peace with its various ethnic groups. Russia wants to be able to threaten the very important oil pipe line and it is also unhappy at the prospect of Georgia joining NATO. Attacking a NATO member has more consequences. George W. Bush seems to be championing the move for membership. The only leader who is quoted as sayng "Russian troops must leave immediately" seems to be Dick Cheney while most others put a wet finger in the air.
