the slightly chilled war part 2: brrr.

Who’s already forgotten about the war between Russia and Georgia? Don’t worry about it; still-President Bush kind of keeps up with the news- he reads headlines. He recently said, “The world has watched with alarm as Russia invaded a sovereign neighboring state.” The world has been watching, but only while commercials are on every single channel that has the Olympics. I mean, come on, who doesn’t want to see the incredibly buff, fantastically American and sexy-voiced Michael Phelps accept his thirtieth gold medal with a wet towel around his neck (I swear I’m not biased)? The summer Olympics only happen every four years. Russia invades countries practically every day. Our President also mentioned how important it is for America to “ensure that an embattled democracy seeking to stand with us remains sovereign, secure, and undivided”. He is so right. We have to help out our world neighbors in any way possible. But something smells funny…
It kind of smells like… Iraq, Afghanistan, and possibly- before President Bush moves out- Iran. Weird…
