However, against a professional military they would be decimated. Not necessarily defeated but certainly bloodied and repelled.
-- Jeff Seyfert

How can you possibly insinuate that Russia's Putin is behind the mess currently unfolding in Georgia? It is totally impossible. George Bush told the entire country, if not the world, that he had "looked into Putin's eyes and seen into his soul," and that he was a good man that we could do business with. Do you not remember that statement by Bush? Surely you are not suggesting that President Bush was wrong, or that he is an exceptionally poor judge of character, are you? Truly, if you are suggesting that, Michael Tomlinson will set you straight in a scathing letter to the editor. Of course our liberal troll, Mike Roush, would just perhaps agree with you, if that is what you are suggesting.
-- Ken Shreve
P.S. I am extremely disappointed in Mike Roush. My last two letters to the editor have gone un-attacked by him. I am feeling terribly left out, and my feelings have really been hurt. C'mon, Mike, surely I have said something here that is a code word or phrase for bigotry of some kind or another.

If Georgia is to remain free and independent, the West must act immediately. To not act will threaten the autonomy of all the small Republics in the neighborhood. And Russia acting in concert with Iran could establish a monopoly on oil and gas supplies to Europe and Asia, exacting perhaps a 25 to 50 percent premium to the market price, a sum that would dwarf the present transfer payments from the West to OPEC.

First NATO should meet in emergency session and offer temporary membership to Georgia and the other nearby Republics.

Second the U.S. and NATO should begin immediately supervising a cleanup operation in Georgia followed by new construction projects. Russia would be reluctant to continue its attack against an international presence in Georgia.

Time is of the essence. In another week, Georgia may be gone, swallowed by the Russian bear.

For years, Vladmir Putin has been doing everything in his power to consolidate Russia's power over many prominent former Soviet states.

Those from Russia and her neighboring countries who have been outspoken in their opposition to Putin's efforts to reassert the Kremlin's rule beyond Russia's current borders are increasingly falling victim to acts of violence or murder.

In Russia, the man who is wanted in Britain for the murder of a man who became perhaps the most high-profile anti-Putin activist has procured a representative position in government, one gotten with considerable help from Vladimir Putin when he was still president of Russia.

Russia is one of the leading suppliers of nuclear technologies to Iran.

Russia is the leading supplier of arms, fighter jets and submarines to Hugo Chavez, the largest supporter of the largest terrorist organization in the Western Hemisphere -- FARC.

Russia is one of the leading suppliers of arms being used by militias responsible for genocides and other horrendous crimes permanently impacting the nations of Africa.

Now Russia is invading Georgia.

If anyone from CIA or State has any problems accepting the fact that Putin is attempting to resurrect the U.S.S.R. while doing whatever possible to distract the U.S. with armed rebels firing Russian-made weapons the world over -- not to mention a nuclear situation in Iran -- may I suggest to them that the invasion of Georgia might be a tremendous example of symbolism associated with such efforts.

Gori, Georgia, is the birthplace of one of Putin's and other former KGB agent Communists' most sacred idols, Joseph Stalin.
