Question of the day: Would we go to war for Georgia?

| 12 August 2008 14:28

If Georgia or Ukraine were a part of NATO, we would be willing to go to war for them as that is what NATO means. Think about it: Russia attacks the Ukraine or Georgia and the U.S. and its allies go to war to stop the Russian aggression. Is this what we want for the future? Are Ukraine and Georgia places of strategic interest for the United States?

I thought that was what World War I was all about? Apparently, we have learned nothing in nearly 100 years.
