Plenty of Blame to Go Around

The recent events in the former Soviet republic of Georgia have plenty of blame to go around. The first to be blamed is the over reaching of Georgia's president. The second major factor is the Russians overblown response to this whole situation. You hardly look like peacekeepers when you are looting, pillaging and killing ethnic Georgians. I do not believe that all sides are entirely innocent of all that they claim to be. Just remember this Russia the world has changed and this is no longer Prague of 1968 where you can just demolish a government. That being said the Western Europeans have to show some spine and help to protect Georgia from being whiped off the map. It should be a moral imperative for them to do so.
