What I find amsuing is how both political parties are accusing the other of how they either were "at fault" for this tragedy, or "would not know how to respond to it". Actuallly, George W Bush can do nothing to influence events there, but neither could Obama or McCain if they were in power. Sometimes shit just happens, and that's that.

We can only thank our lucky stars that Georgia wasn't in NATO when it did happen.
