Why so many references to the United States having *anything* to do with this? These are two countries here, handling their own business.

The first thing I thought when the news came out about Georgia shooting down 2 Russian jets was where did they get the tools to do that? Is that an easy thing to do, shoot down Russian jets?

I’m thinking we’ve already supplied the Georgians with some nifty-neat thingys. Whether Russia is able to trundle out some shells with Hewlett Packard stamped on them remains to be seen, but I’m subliminally convinced that we are already involved.
