Hello,
Talk about being hypocritical. The USA has asked Russia not to take any military actions in the Georgian republic. Here is a link to a BBC news story (I couldn't find any reference to it on the 2 US news sites I regularly check, the Boston Globe and CNN): http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/2254959.stm Russia alleges that rebels (terrorists) from Chechnya use some valleys in the republic to attack Russia and that the Georgia does not act enough against those rebels.
Georgia has already said that any actions by Russia against the valley are going to be considered a decleration of war. Now, the USA urges Russia not to invade and attack the valley, because of the territorial sovereignity of the republic.
From the article:
Sorry?!?
The USA is asking another country to respect territorial sovereignity? The same country who wants to invade Iraq, if necessary on its own, because it doesn't like the ruler of that country (and alleges it poses a big threat to the USA)? The same country who does not want to respect territiorial sovereignity for its own actions wants other countries to adhere to the principles it does not want to adhere to itself? Gimme a break!
To clarify my own situation, I agree with the request the USA made to Russia. I agree to the principle of territorial sovereignity. And that's also one of the reasons I'm against this whole 'war against Iraq' thing, as USA's unilateral actions violate this principle. So in a way I don't understand why the USA is protesting against Russia; they want to violate this principle, why may others not violate it?

From the article:
But State Department spokesman Philip Reeker said the US took "strong exception to statements by President Putin threatening action against Chechen targets on Georgian territory".
"We strongly support Georgia's territorial integrity and oppose any unilateral military action in Georgia," Mr Reeker said.
