I find it ironic that Bush states that the Russia’s response to Georgia’s aggression, including firing on peacekeepers, is “unacceptable in the 21st century." Bush added that Russia has "invaded a sovereign neighboring state."

Did not Bush invade Iraq, a “sovereign state?” Unlike the Russo-Georgian conflict whereby Georgians fired upon Russians, Iraq did not fire upon innocent Americans (i.e. the 9/11 attack) prior to Bush’s bloody invasion. Also, unlike the Russo-Georgian conflict, Bush’s bloody Iraq war has resulted in the deaths of over 100,000 innocent Iraqi women and children and the displacement of millions of Iraqis with little remorse from our Commander-in-chief, Bush.

The leaders of Russia, Georgia and America have all committed unnecessary and irresponsible acts of violence. But before Bush condemns others, he must first look in the mirror and then apologize to the world for his aggressive, immoral, and unacceptable Iraq war.
