Russia Out of Georgia

There is an undeniable bias in the US media regarding the Russia-Georgia conflict. A good example of this was when Fox News cut a little girl from South Ossetia short after she claimed they were bombed by Georgian troops, not Russian.


The international community is still unsure about who truly started the conflict, and I think most of us can agree that Russia went over the line by invading into uncontested Georgia. However, Russian has since called Georgia's actions "Our September 11th" and points at the US actions after 9/11 (Afghanistan and Iraq) as a similar act.

Russia is pulling out of Georgia, and that is the difference here. The US still occupies Afghanistan and Iraq and has done so for years and years.

Imagine, if you will, that part of Mexico contained a lot of US citizens, so much so that this part of Mexico wants to succeed from Mexico, and possibly even join the US. Now imagine that the Mexican government tried to quell these beliefs, and perhaps began to treat people in there areas a little unfairly. Suppose the US responds by sending "Peace Keepers" to this part of Mexico, but soon violence breaks out. This is analogous to the Russia-Georgia conflict.
