That was a very interesting article and perspective. Thanks for posting it.
Here's another one I found interesting;
Why Georgia is not the start of Cold War II

Makes you think about all the references in the first article. I just hope the governments are smart enough to realize that all people are tired of war.
Maybe we should make it an international law that when a war or invasion is started, or any military action to "protect interests", the first people deployed to the front lines with a rifle have to be the decision makers and their families.
