Tonya,
leftists? who are leftists?
if leftists are anyone who doesn’t agree with the current neo-conservative ideology.. then, the majority of America is now leftist.
As for knee-jerk reactions… don’t you think it’s a bit knee-jerk to assume those big bad commies are bullying those poor little Georgians when it appears the Georgians actually initiated the fight they knew they would be getting when they chose to invade South Ossetia in spite of Russian peacekeeping troops there to prevent them doing just that?
That’s like blaming the big brother who intercedes when the neighborhood bully is stealing his little brother’s lunch money… for bullying the bully.
I personally think Russia’s reaction was extreme… but we haven’t been dealing with that particular neighborhood bully for decades.
could it be just a little bit knee-jerk to assume that the Russian tanks will just keep rolling through Europe? Other than fear, what historical perspective do you have for that?
Just because you were raised with the big bad commie scare doesn’t make it true. Check your history. Russia was not a threat to Europe… and in spite of the cold war.. was never as much threat to us as we were to them.
In any event, it is only an international problem if we choose to make it one…
Isreal and Palastine? LOL.. Now that is knee jerk.
You really shouldn’t let people pull your chain that way … when the internet and access to actual history is so easily available.
