whats the deal with russia raining down with georgia?

not good to see a country such as russia throwing its weight around!
would not like to see any of the allied nations loosing good men for such a cause.

Georgia has always been a rogue, even as part of the Soviet Union. Like the Chechens, they've been a thorn in the side of Russia...proven to be behind some terrorist attacks and suspected in several others. This action had been a long time coming, I expected it long before now. You just can't keep kickin' a bear in the balls and expect to keep your leg. It's not a military action, on the scale we've got going in Afghanistan and Iraq but it's arguably more justified. War's never good, they oughta' settle this kinda' stuff with a race...winner takes all. Just think what they could make, in hot dog & beer sales alone!!!
