The trouble in Ossetia, Georgia is really a proxy conflict between Russia and the United States over the strategically important area. The Americans are going to get their asses kicked out there and quite rightly so. The USA in a round about way is trying to do something similar to what Khrushev tried in Cuba. The Americans could not tolerate that threat, but now they expect the Russians to? George W. Bush and Condoleezza Rice need to get a grip on reality. The world has woken up to them.
