While I don't believe we have a military option we should, with our European neighbors, definitely get involved. Georgia has a democratically elected government, is strategically very important to Western interests, is a strong ally and was even slated to join NATO.

The WSJ had some very sage advice about how to respond this AM. Hopefully our leaders are going to follow it- and not act like Neville Chamberlain.
I guess that perception of Georgia would work if you believe everything you read in a newspaper. If you think for one second that Georgia hasn't been hammering Russian interests in their "country", you are very mistaken.
