Does anyone else find it totally comical when people who are completely powerless in a given situation "call on" one or both sides to do the opposite of what's in their interests? I understand Bush or any other U.S. president has to say certain things in response to a serious situation. But what's this "I call on" BS? Has anyone ever reversed course because someone "called on" them to do so? Get real.

Bottom line is this is a regional conflict between two non-NATO countries and we ain't about to escalate it into a big conflict with a nuclear power. The UN is incapable of doing anything and the U.S. is unwilling. Georgia is screwed.
