My husband read some papers not published here in America (newspapersoftheworld.com) and they tell a totally different story about what's going on in Georgia. I think some parts of Georgia wanted to break away from the main body of Georgia so they asked Russia for help(I am sure Russia was excited about the oil though).

I agree, I hope we are not headed there. I don't think ANYONE wants that. BUT, I am afraid this is just Russias first stop. They have been pushing it a lot lately and now this. Also, just because people hate us already isn't a good reason not to stand up against what is wrong. Sometimes doing what is "unpopular" is the right thing. I am not saying that it is the right thing right now, but it could be in a matter of no time.


I totally agree that the soldiers are deployed more than they are home. That couldn't be more true. But they are all volunteers. I have talked to so many service men lately and they all say the same thing, that they would go back in a heart beat. But, we shouldn't push that, or take it for advantage either.


But, we'll all pray that it doesn't come anywhere close to WWIII. And I hope that Russian leaders grow a heart and a brain and back off.
