Did invading Iraq set a precedent that has allowed Russia to invade Georgia?

iraq
machew72 asked:


The US invaded Iraq under false pretenses, without a UN vote and did it for political interests by the Bush Administration. Russia has done the same thing in Georgia (except for the false pretenses)

Who are we to tell Russia to stop the fighting in Georgia?

Now that the US is so engulfed in the Iraq quagmire that the US can no longer effectively deal with other global issues like the Russia/Georgia one.

      I think this is Satan’s game. Look into the scene behind, political rulers and fighting so badly knowing the consequences of war. Whoever is still taking interest in fighting is showing an attitude against life. I have realized Satan’s trick and have put my trust in Jehovah God. I am not yet baptised in the truth but just want to encourage the sincere people here not to worry about these wars, because Our Creator is powerful and will undo every little consequence of these human wars.
