Georgia, Russia and the rest of the world

I'm sure that most people in the U.S. aren't paying that much attention to the Georgia-Russia conflict, but you should. Isn't this how world wars get started? One country in that part of the world does something to another country, and then other countries start taking sides? That's how it works. The only problem is the last generation to see a world war is dying off and they can't help people see what could possibly happen. Pay attention people -- this is more important than Iraq trying to take over Kuwait.
