The title of this post seems plastered all over the news today. I don’t really know what to think about all of it. On the one hand, the U.S. made Georgia into an ally, and allies are supposed to protect each other. On the other hand, I would hate to see us involved in yet another war, with a much stronger opponent.

Refugees and exhausted troops from Georgia have been reportedly shot while trying to escape the fighting. So far, the only thing that President Bush has done is issue a “firm warning.”  The best answer I can come up with is for U.N. peace keeping forces to form a “line in the sand” and force diplomatic discussions before leaving. But I’m not even sure the U.N. has the power to do that anymore.

It’s a frightening scenario and I have to wonder where this is going to lead.
