Are you concerned that the United States is getting involved in the conflict between Russia and Georgia?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on August 15, 2008
“Oh yeah, definitely. I feel like we should not be involved at all. There has also been talk of Israel giving aid to Georgia, so it looks like there is a good possibility it’s going to get ugly.”
“I’m worried, but not all that concerned yet. I think we should keep our involvement to a minimum until we fully understand the situation.”
“I am. I’m not too informed about the specifics, but I’m hoping it won’t become a major ongoing conflict.”
“I am concerned that the U.S. is using it as an example for our future political relationship with Russia in the Balkans.”

I've been concerned about the combative anti-red tone that has been rising these last few weeks. At least this peace-keeping effort is focused on diplomacy, as near as I can tell.

Once again, not our problem, it's simply another BP oil “place of interest” as they have a giant pipeline running through Georgia.I really don't care about emissions, I simply hope one day we don't have to rely on oil so our government can stop murdering young american citizens for a f*&$*ng dollar.

With all that has been happening in Georgia, its just another good reason to not live in South Carolina. My aunt and cousin live in the Atlanta area and have not reported any Russian incursion there yet..

I've said from the beginning that Bush is going to lead us into WWIII and he still has time really make a mess of things. He needs to mind his own business. We have enough problems to do with Iraq.

We aren't “getting involved” in this conflict. We've already been directly involved in it for at least 15 years. We (and Israel) have armed the Georgian military and trained them….not to mention that we mostly likely had special forces on the ground as the invasion into S. Ossetia took place.

Russia knows we have nothing to back up threats with as long as we have not finished the last two wars we are currently in. Putin looked into bush”s eyes and all he saw was bull$hit.

Bo and Luke Duke have been in tougher spots than this. I think they'll be ok. If it gets too hairy, they'll just call in their cousins and all will be fine.

No, not concerned. There is nothing the U.S. can do and everyone knows it. The White House and State Department can bluster away, but they can't actually do anything. In a month this will be over, Russia will have made it's point to the former U.S.S.R satelite countries and we won't be discussing it.
