Well, I'm gonna go with a bit of what both Murmur and Ayiekie said. Georgia whacked the Russian peace-keeping soldiers, which was wrong no matter how thin
you slice that particular piece of bologna. They deserve to have their asses handed to them. Whether it was a ploy on Russia's part to secure themselves
a pipeline... Well, we can't really say now, can we? If it was, then it was a brilliantly executed manuever of the order of Magnificent Bastardism - a
text-book example, even! My hat's off to them. It was a far less ham-handed move than we ourselves made in the Middle East. *Casts sideways glare at
Dubbya.*
Was it wrong to sacrifice troops in order to obtain this goal? Yes, I wouldn't deny that, but you have to admit that booting out a regime that leaves much
to be desired is a good thing in and of itself. In essence, Russia is just doing what we ourselves have been doing... Except unlike us they have a legitimate
excuse.
Right or Wrong? Can't really say. I'm neither Russian nor Georgian so it's a really tough call to make.
