Not at all, shutting them out of economic deals would do them far more harm, but it takes time. This is exactly how the first cold war ended.

No, they shouldn't do as they please, but there are other ways to ground them..

Safety first!

The entire paparazzi should be made illegal.

"If the Leftists, and and Anti-US crowd supports a RUSSIAN Military invasion, and then looks to the US in Afghan and US in Iraq as an example of ...WHY... Russia is allowed to invade Georgia.....I guess my view has been wrong."

Au contraire, I'm everything but in favour of a Russian invasion of Georgia. But it is true that the Americans shouldn't shout too much as they use exactly the same techniques

"After understanding ... NOW... that Georgia was totalitarian PUTIN kind of state, then democratically elected a Pro-Western state,...... KING PUTIN then put sanctions on Georgia.
Georgia then opened its economy to the west, and prospered."

Debatable, Georgia is struggling to prosper, but at this time the Russians are better off than the Georgians.

"PUTIN got pissed, and started to fund and support the separatist movement in the Rouge region.
Hence, the Escalation, and Russian intervention in the INTERNAL happenings of its neighbor.
Its a Russian power play, on its little neighbors that has always been a Russian/Soviet play
After all, Georgia was long ago conquered by IVAN ...... Yes ??   So, Russians believe Georgia to be a Russian territory."

Yes indeed, the Russians invaded a country wich they believe is in many ways theirs. They see it as the West taking control over their zone of influence.

"After looking into this, I see King Putin CONQUERING a sovereign land.  Its wrong.
And you Leftists support it.
This is troubling.   You support Russian aggression, a land grab, and point to your hatred of the US as a reason why it is OK."

No we're not. We're just adding a nuance.

"It truly is possibly the start of a new Cold War.
One, that the Euro-Pacifists will sit out again........."

Hardly. "Sitting out" is quite an understatement.

Or they're just not interested

Newb, I've studied religious history this year, and let me tell you: the babylonians were never mentioned. I'm sure you're confusing it with "Mithras", a religion that existed in celtic Europe and wich heavily influenced christianity (like christmas etc). Another thing you might be refering at is Zoroastrism, wich did influence a lot of religions, and not solely the christian one; and in fairness, it didn't determinated the christial religion at all. There probably is some babylonian influence though, via the judaism, but all in all, it must be quite small, and not distinctive either.

I'm with Primo on this one.
It's nothing better than the so-called Batman curse on the latest Batman movie...

"Who is your favourite Christian and why?"

My granny, as she knows that forcing religion upon others doesn't work.
