Russia vs Georgia

I am curious as to how our president can remain in China at games which should have been held elsewhere, while Russia seeks to annihilate a former nation of the soviet block because of their interest in relationships with western nations. No question that the timing on Russia's part was impeccable. The start of the Olympics have captured the eyes of the world, with many world leaders in attendance.
The last six months of W's presidency--which so far have been less than stellar--pretty much like the other 7 and a half years and an American economy at the brink of recession brought on by an elongated and unecessary war in Iraq have our nation distracted. Can we not see that we must do something here. Georgia is a nation that seeks to be democratic and aligned with other democratic nations, but it seems unlikely that we will do much as a nation to help the situation. We were quick to jump into Iraq, a country that seems to have little desire to be a democratic nation, prodded by false allegations and inexcusable mistakes by the people who are supposed to be good at gathering intelligence.

It is time for change in Washington. I only hope it doesn't come too late.
