Read my post. Saddam was defeated only by a massive invasion by a superpower (us). Populations of totalitarian nations almost never overthrow their masters. It’s wishful thinking to expect them to do so.

“Read my post. Saddam was defeated only by a massive invasion by a superpower (us). ”
This is the big picture.

Saddamn made too many enemies.

Saddamn was squashed.
“Populations of totalitarian nations almost never overthrow their masters. It’s wishful thinking to expect them to do so.”
This is the small picture.

Georgia won't squash Russia by its self.


However, Georgia + all Georgia's friends + some time, may ultimately put so much pressure on Russia that Russia starts to take on a squashed appearance.

The subject of my original post was the big picture.

And yes, I read your post. ;)
