“Do you then, suggest, that Georgia, which sent 2000 troops for US operation in Iraq to help US, be simply abandoned? Not only would this be a coward act, but it also would be against US strategic interest, as this will be the last country that assists US, relying on its support in the future.”

War is a crap shoot. The ancients always depicted Victory (Nike) as having wings because they never knew which way she would fly. Strategic decisions made by the United States should be based upon victory’s probable benefit versus defeat’s probable penalty. Given that Russia has over a thousand nuclear warheads pointed at the United States and Georgia has almost no economic connection with the US does it make sense to get involved in this war?

Neolex mentioned the word “coward”. A coward avoids war when it is in his best interests to fight the war. After 9/11, the United States opted to attack Afghanistan and Iraq because it was in our strategic interest to do so. The moonbats revealed themselves as abject cowards because they opposed the war against Islamic fascism even though it was in our best interests.

Along these lines, I should point out that it is in the strategic interests of the Ukraine, Poland and Turkey to help the Georgians defend themselves against the Russians. Why are there no Ukrainian soldiers helping the Georgians on the ground? What is the Turkish Airforce doing for Georgian air superiority? What’s the Polish Navy doing to protect against Russian ships? AFTER the Ukraine, Poland and Turkey get involved THEN maybe the U.S. should stick its nose in.
