I can't say I am very informed of politics, but every now and then I try to understand that I hear coming from our leaders, and in this case future leaders mouths. Sadly it starts sounding the same to me. The article you posted was really good but it unfortunately and strangely enough it left me with the same questions. “Trashcanistans” that cracks me up. Outside of both articles I have heard that there is oil oil oil issues in this area, I suppose that is part of what our interests really are. Perhaps it is realistic, perhaps not, but these days I think the decisions are so convoluted, I just assume that the long term good of any country has little to do with top level decision making. Perhaps it was a bit naive of me to ever consider that possibility. Removing it from the equation does seem to make things clearer. Sorry feeling a little cynical today :) Hahaha... yeah John does the tongue thing doesn't he. He is also in the Steve Job's video from a previous post too. Great musician... Your welcome.

I feel frustrated as well that our country's political reaction has become knee-jerk with regards to Georgia and it makes me sad. What we're saying is invading another country and impeding is wrong; unless of course it's in our interests. But also we assume that Georgia's actions are automatically OK because they go counter to the will of Putin.
