Russia VS Georgia

Source

The fierce battle going on between Russia and Georgia over a the breakaway province of South Ossetia has George W. claiming that Russia's actions are "unacceptable and Russia's response is disproportionate." It is nice to see some acknowledgment and semblance of concern from our President but how can anyone take him seriously when talking about someone else unfairly attacking a sovereign nation. George W. can not ask another nation to stop its civil war, or it's attack on a neighbor, or it's mass genocide and human rights abuses because he is personally responsible for similar atrocities.

An aside. I think it is terrible that some people care how the death of 2000 people in the former Soviet Union affects gas prices, more than how to reach an agreement between the two sides.
