Because it is our business. Giving Russia the ability to control the flow of oil from Azerbaijan would have a very negative impact on the economies of the west.

Georgia is the one route the Russians don’t control out of the Azerbaijan oil fields - other than Iran. Look for a Russian move on Poti. Either that or look for NATO to open a new Black Sea naval base in Poti.

This is going to get worse before it gets better. Of course with Obama in the White House your wish may come true.

Russia cited the Kosovo precedent when they invaded Georgia. If they stupidly insist that Kosovo sets a precedent to emulate, then so be it. NATO should send peacekeeping forces into Georgia just like those in Kosovo. Only NATO forces on the ground can prevent further revanchist neo-Soviet Russian aggression. Eventually the genocidal Russian war criminals will retreat from Georgia, like they retreated from Kosovo.
