I'll admit I haven't a clue about the rationale of Russia's attack. I'm sure that if I researched I could find the answer, but so far the only thing I've been able to find is that Russia felt Georgia may be gearing up to protect themselves???

I'm just really hoping that the US doesn't decide that we need to get up in the middle of this one...My friend (USMC) is getting to come home (hopefully to stay and finish out his commission) after a year or so in Iraq. I don't see how the US can stretch our military any thinner!

*sigh*
