And, in effect, cause a situation where the Cold War will now resume? So, in effect, did the USA let its guard down and ignore the real threat it faces, as an expense for the pursuit of war against Iraq?|||At the time, Iraq was the real threat. Not direct, but indirect. When the US was bombed on september 11th, Iraq stated it will allow terrorists to train and be funded if they would carry out another attack on the US. Also, Iraq (as well as many other middle eastern countries) has declared war on the US more times than we can count. Sadam was a terrorist. You can say unprovoked if you want, but others see it differently. There is no real comparable aspect between the two wars except that the fact that they are both wars. Russians are looting Georgia and just flexing their muscle, with no real reason to be there other than to "punish" and "teach the world a lesson". The US in Iraq had a mission, to stop Sadam. Afterwards, we are rebuilding. You can bet that Russia will not help in the rebuilding efforts.
As far as us not being able to do anything, your partially right. We can do stuff though. Our air force and navy at the time being do not have a main force in Iraq. We could set up defence in Georiga (our strong ally). The length of the war in Iraq has hurt us military, not allowing us to send troops to help in threats to our allies. But, the length of the war was unforseeable.|||It's seems so except in US|||Most people outside of Iraq couldn't give a brass nickel what happens there. And the same applies to Georgia. Didn't they belong to the Russians in the old days?|||Nothing to do wirh Iraq!!
In 1953 the Russians executed Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria the head of the NKVD (forerunner to the KGB) before he could take the presidency knowing what such a man would do.
Pity they did not recognise the same problem with Putin who is now allowing his megalomania not just to attack Georgia but to threaten to use nukes on Poland!!!!|||you bet ye.|||The politics and the power struggle between opposing nations does matter in every conflict and the US would never confront the Russian federation directly and for any revival of cold war, Russia would never keep quiet and may go mad in attacking the United States or the NATO forces, BRUTALLY!
However in the near future, the real threat to USA is not Russia but a wealthy and powerful CHINA!|||No.
Don't think so.
It has nothing to do with Iraq.
Just blunders and slip-ups with human errors.
With internal conflicts and self lack of knowledge.
Living in misery with faulty education and communication system.
That ended up in throwing pots and pans.
Over a woman's error created back in the past without being aware of it being exposed in time.
In bashing up one another among their own kind in own backyards.

What do you think?|||Nice try, but NO.
Russia is still broke. Missles are in Poland. Saddam is dead. Bush won twice.
Russia is the loser here.
Be careful which side you support.|||Yes. Iraq has never ever been a threat. In fact Iraq should have been an ally. Saddam hated terrorist and could keep his people in line.
As far as Russia is concerned they were defending their people from a tyrant. Bottom line is that Georgia is not a democracy. It is nothing more than a dictatorship made out to be a democracy backed by the USA and now bush and mcbush. They also have had numerous human rights violations. That is what started this whole thing. Georgia slaughtered thousands of innocent people in SO.
Russia may have an alternative motive like the oil pipeline, but thus far its attack was far more justified than the one we launched on Iraq.
