		<description>Obama's take on the Georgia crisis was enough to convince me that his foreign policy would be akin to that of Neville Chamberlain in 1938 - and we all know how that panned out.  History has proven time and time again that soft talk and appeasement doesn’t work in the face of genuine aggressors.  Obama seems to have his heart in the right place, but he doesn't seem to understand how the real world works.  Obama is showing himself to be terribly naïve.  His message of hope is inspiring, but in the end, his naive policies could very well bring the United States (and the rest of the western world) to its knees.

When Neville Chamberlain stepped off the plane after his meeting with Hitler, the British public hailed him as a visionary and a hero, chanting “peace in our time!”  A year later, after Hitler had gobbled up two more countries, the world was plunged into the most devastating war in human history.

I believe the current world landscape is a dangerous one.  The next US president is going to have a lot of responsibility thrust upon their shoulders, and the decisions they make could quite literally alter the course of human history.  We all need to be very, very deliberate and thoughtful when we cast our votes in November.</description>

		<description>By the way, if you want to see the sources of information I'd start with Reuters, then try other international news agencies.

And try picking ones that put the correct pictures with the story - unlike CNN that posted pictures of ruined Tskhinvali and claimed it was Gori!

If you don't agree with what they say on Russia today then turn the sound down and just look at the pictures, someone was responsable for all that damage, actually someone in the US ultimately.</description>

		<description>To A. Doerfler:

If there was genocide occuring by the  Georgians I am sure we in America would have heard about it from legitimate - reliable sources. If the Russians who happen to be execellent in spreading propaganda and outright lies believe that geonocide by the Georgians is taking place they should bring it up to the UN so they can invstigate their rediculous in my opinion allegations. Last time I checked around - Russia had not obtain a resolution confirming this at the UN... Please stop reading Russian propaganda blogs!!!!</description>

Do you mind telling us the sources of your information? We in America listen to respectable and reliable news media (including foreign media sources). Some of us also have relatives, friends, in the region. We also heard what Amnesty International had to say about the conflict as well as Human Rights Watch, etc. Obviously your sources must be pure Russian propaganda.</description>

		<description>Moral equivalency. Everyone here who believes these comments were intelligent need to examine their own sense of morality, because you're giving moral equivalency to Saddam and the Georgian president. That's intelligent? That's reasonable? That's sane? My God, I am almost afraid for the future. No one here seems to have learned from history, specifically the period leading up to WWII. Shoot, people don't learn from Obama's clone, Jimmy Carter, under which the nation's morale was at its lowest in decades. 

If this is progressiveness, I want no part of it.</description>

		<description>There is no comparison to Russia's invasion of Georgia and our occupation of Iraq.  Putin is trying to overthrow a democratic government - the US expelled an oppressive dictator.  When it comes to foreign policy Obama is an idiot.</description>

		<description>McCain stood up to Russian expansionism, while Obambi did just what the Russian's expected. He hid behind empty words and rhetoric. McCain is 1st string, in real world politics.</description>

Since you asked, I think you are....Even if your outrageous "conspiracy" theory - after all liberals are notorious for coming up with conspiracy theories - had any hint of validity to it, the Russians had absolutely no right to invade Georgia using such disproportionate force. Last time I checked around, I did not see or hear Russia bringing their concerns to the UN security cancel. But of course the Russians are always the ones criticizing America for acting unilaterally. 

At least, America had dozens of resolutions at the UN that Saddam violated before the Iraq war. How many resolutions did Russia obtain against Georgia prior to "charging" with massive forces against a democratic country - member of the UN? 

The Russians were planning this and were planning it a long time ago. Even Hillary Clinton addressed her concerns about Russian aggression against Georgis in a statement that she made on 4/18/08 (right after the NATO summit in Bucharest). So, please stop the "Obama" rhetoric. Both Obama and his left-wing supporters not only are cluless when it comes to the geo-political issues of Eastern Europe but they also prove to be delusional with their rediculous "conspiracy" theories.  

Please post your conspiracy theories here next time...who knows? Someone may take you seriously.....
