Lisa and Georgia

Once again, Lisa has gone off the right wing end of the Kool Aid pool in her comments about Georgia and Russia. The current crisis was precipitated by Georgia with Russian overreaction. South Ossetia voted in a referendum for what amounts to basically independence for that region, but Georgia sent in its military to extinquish any thoughts of freedom for the South Ossetians. Sounds like Georgia is acting like Japan, Germany, and Italy in the 1930s, doesn't it? The right wing fringe in this nation would have you believe that Georgia is a poor, innocent victim in this conflict. Sorry, both Georgia and Russia are to blame for the mess.

Also, a top advisor for John McCain was a paid lobbysit for Georgia until May 15 of this year. Funny how McCain is hammering the Russians without any comment on Georgia's previous military actions in South Ossetia? Again, stop drinking the American right wing Kool Aid and start reading from objective sources. The Georgian instigated the conflict, the Russians overreacted. Enough said.
