First off, many of you reading this probably have heard on the news recently that Russia attacked Georgia. They intervened, or invaded, or however you wanted to call it. But this accidentally slipped out on "fair and balanced" Fox News the other day...

Now here's what really happened based on numerous sources I've been reading over the past few days:
Georgia attacked a territory called South Ossetia, which recently broke away from Georgia and has been trying to achieve independence. While South Ossetia is not officially part of Russia, the majority of the residents of South Ossetia are Russian citizens holding Russian passports. Georgia attacked South Ossetia to regain control of the territory. Naturally, because Russia has so many citizens living there they then proceeded to attack Georgia to "free" the residents of South Ossetia.
Now, ask yourself, how has our mainstream media been portraying these events? What is the general view of Russia in this conflict by not only our media but also our government? Why does our government really care so much about this conflict? What would happen if a nation attacked American citizens living in another country?
