antiwar.com — American charges of Russian aggression ring hollow. Georgia started this fight – Russia finished it. Western hypocrisy is astonishing. American meddling in Eastern Europe serves no vital interest of ours. For a decade, some have warned about the folly of getting into Russia's face. The chickens of American imperialism have now come home to roost.

FTA: But did we not authorize Israel to bomb Lebanon for 35 days in response to a border skirmish where several Israel soldiers were killed and two captured? Was that not many times more "disproportionate"?Russia has invaded a sovereign country, railed Bush. But did not the United States bomb Serbia for 78 days and invade to force it to surrender a province, Kosovo, to which Serbia had a far greater historic claim than Georgia had to Abkhazia or South Ossetia, BOTH OF WHICH PREFER MOSCOW to Tbilisi?
