United States wants Georgia to join NATO. Why? I have no idea, the Cold War is over. Problem is that Georgia can not join NATO with seperatists states liek South Ossetia and Azbhekia in their territory, so they have to let them have their independence (something the Ossetians and Azbhekians voted for) or destroy the seperatist movement altogether. Georgia went with plan B, and got whipped by Russia for doing so.

Why is the West upset at Russia, when Russia actually took the good guy stance on this one? Simply because they are opposed to Russia. Russia wanted unity in Serbia and Kosovo (something many other European nations wanted) while the United States pushed for their indepenece, now a similar seperatist state wants independence and the United States is ignoring them and crimes against them just to get at Russia.

And how is defending South Ossetia any worse than the United States in Iraq? Consistency please, either you think its okay to invade other countries for political reasons or you dont, but you cant have them both.
