I mostly pay attention to the big five 3 letter news services you know ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX and NBC followed by Local channels and a scattering of Blog or News
posting sites. Usually I do very quick scans of the triple letter webpage headlines and randomly drop in on their news video feeds when available.
As far as protesting goes I'd say they need to protest against Russia's actions and escalation by moving ground forces out of S Ossetia into Georgia
itself. Yes Georgia made an unethical decision to send troops into the break away area, but it's was also an extremely foolish decision because of the
amount of activity Russia had both within the break away area and just across the border within Russia itself.
Russia's movement of tanks and troops straight through the break away area into Georgia is a clear sign she has bigger plans for Georgia than to simply
smashing her military and teaching her a lesson.
It was fairly obvious before and is now a certainty that russia was trying to get a military reaction out of Georgia and they played right into thier hands.
Those tanks and men rolling across Georgia require a large logistic tail, a tail that almost certainly required months to get into place in preparation for
this attack.
I wouldn't be surprises if by the time the russian militery leaves Georgia that it will be a nation in name only with leaders and laws that fulfill what
russia's leaders want. A captured territory returned to much the same condition it was in during the days of the USSR.
I don't know if I agree with your reasoning about America being paralyzed because of the large concentration of armed forces being in Iraq. I'll have
to think about that for awhile. I can come up with arguments on both sides of it being a advantage and disadvantage for any type of military reaction.
