So, Russia is invading Georgia, while the rest of the world just sits still. It's sad. Let's take a look at the hypocrisy that's going around in the United States and the world right now. First of all, right now, the United States refuses to trade with Cuba, because of the communist government, but we have no sanctions directed at Russia, even though their invading a sovereign nation. Secondly, the media is spending more time covering the John Edwards' affair which took place TWO YEARS AGO, instead of covering hard, serious news that will have a huge effect on the world. If Russia is allowed to proceed unchecked, they'll see no reason why they shouldn't just go invade the Belarus, Azerbaijan, the Ukraine, or any one of the central Asian countries. I don't think military action is necessary yet, but an invasion, even at this point, would not be like the second Iraq or the Vietnam war, it would be comparable to the war in Afghanistan or the first Gulf War. Right now, though, we need to go for harsh economic sanctions, and only consider a military operation if that doesn't work.
