Of what value in encouraging world peace is the move to admit Georgia and the Ukraine to NATO? Bush and our presidential candidates apparently think it's worth really pissing Russia off, while supporting a nation that attacked its minorities.
The situation with Georgia is not as simple as our leaders think. The issue with Ossetia and Abkahzia goes back many years. Georgia has not exactly protected its minorities or granted them the same rights as the majority. For example, in the early days, the minorities held less than 5% of the seats in parliament yet made up 38% of the population. The inability on the part of Georgia to recognize the rights of its minorities is the basis reason why Ossertia and Abkahzia want to leave.

I think the powers behind Bush realize they could be ousted on November 4th, and are pushing as much of the legislation through beforehand, as they can. Croatia is also being herded towards NATO. Having these three dependents in NATO will do nothing for the organization, but advance Pax Americana in the eyes of those whose sole vision is Empire.
