Midnight Train To Georgia

I guess Ronnie Ray-Gun is spinning in his grave now? Before he surrendered his last remaining marbles to Alzheimer's Disease, the great destroyer of the middle class was operating under the delusion that he had won The Cold War by simply asking that the Berlin Wall come down - even though it was coming down anyway.
Seems like The Cold War was only on ice for a few decades. Operating under its slave name of "Russia," the Soviet Union is alive and back to its old tricks.
With the Olympics serving as an international distraction, Russian troops are determined to beat thoughts of freedom out of the people of Georgia (the Republic, not the state with the peaches).
Interesting to note that our government has permitted Georgian soldiers to depart Iraq, where the were allegedly fighting for freedom, to ... fight for freedom.
Could this be the start of World War III?

You should know better, Mr. Glantz. World War III started a long time ago.
