Georgia On My Mind

In the early hours of the day when it happened, I distinctly heard or read that the forces of Georgia had begun hostilities in South Ossetia. The status of South Ossetia was unclear to me. It had been part of Soviet Georgia and had recently demanded autonomy from Georgia, preferring the good old boys of Moscow. Regardless of the unclear status, I distinctly heard Georgia started this. Russia seems to have finished it. If you go signing up Russia's neighbors into NATO, the USA's equivalent of Athens' Delian League and at present hardly a defensive force such as when it was the bulwark against the Warsaw Pact nations... If you go around putting missiles into the backyards of Russia's neighbors on the transparently flimsy pretext that Iran is fixing to bomb Europe (!!??!!)... If you have a numnuts for President who says he and the real Russki leader are bosom buddies 'cause he looked inta that Russki's soul while he was asittin' beside him... You are gonna have some problems.
